I am a tequila fan. This drink is equally delicious with mezcal or half tequila and half mezcal. I prefer my drinks on the less sweet side. If you like sweeter cocktails, the sugar can be increased; if you are fond of tonic, that can be substituted and will bring another dimension and greater sweetness to the preparation.
