Based on the Red Ant cocktail created by a NYC bartender. Be sure to use a good quality mezcal. The small amount of it here makes a big difference. I like brandied cherries for the garnish.

This drink is great! I used High West (Rendezvous Rye) whiskey, Cherry Heering, Dos Hombres Mezcal, Kirschwasser cocktail mixer, and chocolate bitters. It is a high horsepower (strong alcohol) drink, but smooth and Smokey in texture/flavor. I would definitely make this for others to try.
