Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute blanco tequila for mezcal.

    Like the previous poster, I also made the syrup with whole, dried hibiscus flowers instead of hibiscus tea bags and it seemed to work well. I’m not usually a fan of sours but I enjoyed this one.

    An outstanding mezcal cocktail, perfectly balanced as written. I used whole dried hibiscus flowers my syrup was more pink than red, perhaps I should have used more. I would also make the simple syrup differently — shaking the jar to dissolve the sugar seems silly compared to stirring the sugar into a warm saucepan, and straining is still easy enough.
