La Bandita

La Bandita will steal your heart and then steal your wallet. This sophisticated sipper calls for some specific ingredients, but substitutions are allowed:

Swap the tequila for 1.5 oz. of smoky Mezcal for a “Smokey y La Bandita.”

Add a dash of grapefruit bitters if that's your style.

Just don't forget the Ancho Reyes chile liqueur. It's not the same without it.
