ABOUT
This Last Word riff was created by David Jordan Melia (@speakeasieruk). Mezcal brings the smoke, which pairs well with the bite you can get from the chile liqueur. The Aperol and lime help brighten the cocktail and bring a bit of sweetness to balance it out. On the nose, you get bright sweet orange aromas. Cheers y’all!
