Prepare glass
Place a small plate with smoked salt. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled rocks glass (or coupe if preferred). Dip the rim into the smoked salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside to chill.

Build and shake
Add reposado tequila (2 oz), blanco mezcal (0.5 oz), fresh lime juice (0.75 oz), agave nectar (0.5 oz), orange curaçao (0.25 oz), fresh pineapple juice (0.5 oz), and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and well-chilled.

Strain
Double-strain the shaken mixture through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared smoked-salt-rimmed rocks glass over a large ice cube (or a few fresh ice cubes) to avoid any small ice shards or pulp in the drink.

Garnish and finish
Float a single thin slice of Thai chili or a small dried chile on top of the drink (optional: torch briefly for smoky aroma but be careful). Add a lime wheel on the glass edge. Serve immediately and warn guests that the chili can be spicy if bitten into — the 'Death Drop' has a warming, smoky bite balanced by bright citrus and sweet agave.
