A dry libation with a kick from those spicy peppers! It's a bit medicinal tasting in a way but it plays nicely with the sweetness from the honey and the orange juice. I think this was the first time that the flavor of the pepper was present in a drink as opposed to the spiciness overpowering it. T'is a nice tincture.
This cocktail can also be made nonalcoholic by just removing the mezcal and chili liqueur and focusing more on the Honey & Turmeric OJ combo with a bit of club soda!
