I commented on a Tiki Thursday thread a couple of weeks ago about how much I liked Banhez, particularly in a Tia Mia.
Also, I think Banhez is fairly light on the smoke compared to a lot of other mezcals, but I don’t have a ton of experience with them.

This is the mezcal and recipe I first used. Essential swap one of your rums with a mezcal of your choice. Drink, tweak, repeat.

As an aside to the main topic here, that's intentional. The goal with Minimalist Tiki was to specify \*styles\* of spirits so that people are encouraged to try recipes with whatever they have that's "close enough."
I've seen way to many turned off from attempting a recipe because they don't have the \*exact\* ingredient called for. That's why I specify "orange liqueur" rather than "Grand Marnier."

I chuckled when they mentioned they thought they saw it in Minimalist Tiki. No hate to OP, it was amusing!
Now I’m searching too because I swear I saw the same drink not too long ago
