- 1.5 oz Mezcal
- 3/4 oz cointreau
- 3/4 oz orange juice
- 3/4 oz lime juice
- 1/2 oz agave syrup
- pinch of salt
Shake everything with ice, and serve in a glass with a chili flakes rim.
The recipe originally mentioned tajin seasoning for the rim, but I didn’t have any. I replaced it with chili flakes, which worked well with the mezcal, but didn’t look as good!
Overall it was good, the smoke flavor from the mezcal was not overpowering, while still making this a mezcal drink.


If you like this, I must recommend you a non alcoholic cocktail I like.
2 oz very strong coffee (cooled espresso or cold brew)
2 oz fresh orange juice
4 or 5 oz fizzy water.
Sounds really good! I had orange juice and espresso shot before, but nice with the fizzy water to keep it refreshing.
