History

The assertive style of mezcal suits this cocktail better than tequila in the original.

This cocktail is a variation on Naren Young's 2013 tequila-based High Noon. The only alteration is the substitution of mezcal for tequila. This mezcal version gained popularity and was associated with New York City's Empellón Cocina Mexican restaurant prior to its closure in 2017.
