Ingredients

  • 60 ml Mezcal
  • 30 ml Lime juice
  • 22.5 ml Triple sec
  • 10 ml Agave syrup
  • Garnish Lime wheel

Preparation

  1. Rim the rocks glass over ice with salt. Don't know how? Moisten the rim with a citrus wedge, then dip it in a plate of salt.
  2. Shake all ingredients with ice.
  3. Strain into a rocks glass over ice. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.

Origin Story
