Ingredients
- 45 ml Mezcal
- 60 ml Grapefruit juice
- 15 ml Lime juice
- 10 ml Sugar syrup
- 1 pinch Activated charcoal
- 60 ml Soda water
- Garnish Grapefruit wedge
Preparation
- Shake mezcal, juices, syrup and charcoal with ice.
- Strain into a highball 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
