Description: An equal-parts modern classic modeled on the Paper Plane's structure, built around smoky mezcal instead of bourbon.
Cultural Background: Created by bartender Joaquín Simó in New York in 2011, quickly adopted as a modern staple for its clean, memorable equal-parts formula.
Tips: Equal parts makes this easy to remember and easy to scale for batches.
Variations: A blend of mezcal and reposado tequila can soften the smoke for those who find pure mezcal too intense.
Serving Suggestion: Serve up, well chilled, as a smoky, bittersweet modern classic.
