Prep time: 10 minutes

Serving: 1

Ingredients:

• 45ml of Amigos Aotearoa Mezcal
• 60ml of fresh orange juice
• 30ml of fresh lime juice

Optional:

• 3 dashes of orange bitters (for extra orange flavour)
• 1-3 teaspoons of orange liqueur, simple syrup, or agave nectar.

Spicy Rim Ingredients:

• Tajín Clásico Seasoning

OR

• 2 parts kosher salt, 1 part chilli powder

Method:

1. To prepare your glasses - pour some Tajín (or mix your/chilli powder) on a small, rimmed plate. Run a wedge of lime around the top of each glass. Dip the top of the glass into the salt blend at a 45-degree angle and roll it from side to side to catch the salt. Add ice cubes to your glass and set it aside.
2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the mezcal, orange juice, lime juice, orange bitters (if using) and optional sweetener (I usually prefer mine without – you can always add to taste after shaking). Securely fasten the lid and shake well.
3. Pour the mixture into your prepared glass and garnish with a lime wedge. Enjoy!
