Punt e Mes joins the bitter side of the drink while still bringing sweet wine support. Campari and Vida Clásico meet a vermouth with an edge of its own, giving this partnership a good reason to feel firm. That is separate from the mezcal’s smoke-associated aroma. If you describe the drink as smoky, you have named only one part of what interests you. The choice of Punt is worth remembering when it is the bitterness you want to explore.
