The Capri Sour balances smoky mezcal against the bittersweet herbaceousness of Italian amari, with lemon juice providing sharp acidity and orgeat lending a subtle almond sweetness that softens the drink's edges. A touch of Campari adds ruby-colored bitterness to the finish, while the overall effect lands somewhere between a traditional sour and an amaro-forward sipper—complex but approachable, with smoke, citrus, and botanical notes trading places on the palate.
