Swap notes

Base spiritBlanco tequila is bright and sharp; reposado adds barrel warmth; añejo is richer and smoother. Mezcal swaps in well but adds smoke — use a little less and see how it sits.BubblesTonic water adds bitterness and subtle sweetness — soda water is a clean swap if you want less bitterness. Ginger beer adds spice and is notably sweeter. If swapping tonic for something else, taste as you go because the bitterness balance shifts more than you expect.
