Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a shaker, combine 1.5 oz mezcal, 0.75 oz triple sec, 0.75 oz fresh grapefruit juice, and 0.5 oz lemon juice with ice, shaking vigorously for 15 seconds until cold and well-mixed.
  2. Step 2: Strain into a chilled coupe glass, adding 2 dashes of grapefruit bitters and swirling gently to dissolve the bitters without creating foam.
  3. Step 3: Express the grapefruit peel twist over the drink to release its essential oils, then place it on the rim for a fragrant, citrusy finish.
