1
Rim the glass
Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a highball or Collins glass to moisten it. Spread the coarse salt or Tajín on a small plate and dip the rim lightly to coat about half to three-quarters of the rim (optional). Set the glass aside.
2
Fill the prepared glass with ice to chill while you build the drink.

3
In a cocktail shaker (or mixing glass) add the mezcal, fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.
4
Add a large handful of ice to the shaker, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
5
Discard the ice from the chilled glass, then fill the glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice.
6
Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
7
Top gently with 2 oz club soda. Give the drink one gentle stir (1–2 turns) to incorporate the soda without losing effervescence.
8
Garnish with a grapefruit wheel or twist and the reserved lime wedge on the rim.
