Cocktail

Method

Glass Prep & Garnish

  1. 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. 2

    Fill the prepared glass with ice to chill while you build the drink.

Cocktail Assembly

  1. 3

    In a cocktail shaker (or mixing glass) add the mezcal, fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.

  2. 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.

  3. 5

    Discard the ice from the chilled glass, then fill the glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice.

  4. 6

    Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice.

  5. 7

    Top gently with 2 oz club soda. Give the drink one gentle stir (1–2 turns) to incorporate the soda without losing effervescence.

  6. 8

    Garnish with a grapefruit wheel or twist and the reserved lime wedge on the rim.
