The Maximilian Affair is smoky and floral with mezcal’s earthy char at the forefront, beautifully balanced by the sweet, fragrant elderflower liqueur. Punt e Mes adds a subtle bittersweet herbal depth, and a hint of lemon juice brightens the whole profile. The result is a sophisticated, layered cocktail that’s at once bold, aromatic, and refreshingly nuanced.
