Ingredients

  • 2 ounces mezcal
  • 1/2 ounce lime juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
  • 3 ounces ginger beer
  • 2 dashes aromatic bitters
  • Garnish: mint sprig and lime wheel

Instructions

  1. Fill a glass with large ice cubes to allow for slower melting.
  2. Pour mezcal, lime juice, ginger beer, and bitters over the ice.
  3. Gently stir the mixture to preserve the fizz of the ginger beer. A narrow implement like a chopstick works well for this.
  4. Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wheel. Enjoy!
