But we decided to take things to the next level, by replacing the whisky with a mix of mezcal and tequila. Think: margarita with old world flavor. If you want something a bit milder, go for ½ cup of tequila and 2 tbsp mezcal–but, if you can handle the extra smokiness, by all means: go for it.

If you want to use honey instead of agave, use a runny honey and combine with ½ tbsp warm water in a small bowl. Stir until honey dissolves into a thin syrup.
