The deconstructed cocktail is both intense for being deconstructed, as well as for each element being intense on its own (spicy salt and a grassy extraction being the main two, along with fresh mango and the actual alcohol). I wouldn't pan a movie theatre for showing one extremely arty movie I didn't like, or a ski hill for having one utterly terrifying route I couldn't handle, and so in a thick menu of cocktails, I really think people are focusing on the wrong thing; it's ok if you can't handle the most extreme thing, that's why it's the most extreme thing. The many, many other options are truly delicious. And indeed, you are forewarned. I say this as a craft beer drinker who seeks out new things, and definitely accepts that it is on me when I try a sour double smoked barrel aged porter and don't truly love it.
