Prepare glass
If serving up, chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass by filling it with ice water while you build the cocktail. If serving on the rocks, fill a rocks glass with fresh large ice.

Measure and combine
In a cocktail shaker add 1 oz Del Maguey Vida mezcal, 0.5 oz Genepy, 0.5 oz Aperol, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz agave syrup (include the syrup only if you prefer a touch more sweetness).

Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker about two-thirds with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted. The shake both chills and dilutes to balance the smoke, bitterness, and herbal notes.

Strain
Dump the ice water from the chilled serving glass if you chilled it. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe (for a refined presentation) or single-strain over fresh large ice in a rocks glass if serving on the rocks.

Garnish and serve
Express a lime twist over the drink to release the oils and rub the rim with it, or simply float a lime wheel on the surface. Serve immediately.
