  • Top with 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

Notes

Pro Tips
  • For a smoother finish, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and high-quality honey syrup.
  • If you want a smokier profile, use a little more mezcal in the rinse or add a small splash to the drink.
  • Chilling the glass before serving can enhance the drink's refreshing qualities.
