Missing something?
- No Mezcal? Use Tequila (Loses the smoke; a drop of Islay scotch brings some back)
- No Mezcal? Use Tequila Reposado (Loses the smoke)
- No Yellow Chartreuse? Use Green Chartreuse (Stronger and more herbal, so use a bit less)
- No Yellow Chartreuse? Use Bénédictine (Honey and herbs, a close match)
- No Aperol? Use Campari (More bitter, so use a bit less)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
