If you're missing something

  • MezcalTequila — loses the smoke, which in most of these drinks is the entire point
  • Triple sec → Cointreau or dry curaçao — the same category — Cointreau is the benchmark and worth the difference
  • Agave syrupSugar syrup — neutral, and loses the affinity agave has with tequila
