This cocktail is another variant of the midnight marauder no. 2, this version made with mezcal, bonal, cynar and mole bitters for a chocolatey profile not unlike mole sauce. I’m a huge fan of mole and we have the bitterman’s mole bitters (check my favorite items page for link) used in this, so I was excited to try it.
I didn’t have bonal, so I looked up substitutes and ended up using peach liqueur. You can also use a sweet vermouth or lillet in place of it. This drink had a deep flavor profile and was sweet, but not too sweet and it was easy to drink.
