Mezcal Margarita

INGREDIENTS

• 5 drops saline solution* (or pinch salt)
• ½ ounce agave syrup
• ½ ounce Cointreau
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice
• 2 ounces mezcal (Del Maguey Vida)

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. 
2. Add ice, then shake for 10-12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty cold. 
3. Strain into coupe or cocktail glass. 
4. Garnish with a lime wedge. 

*Saline Solution: Combine 1 tbsp salt and 4 tbsps water in a small saucepan. Heat on medium while stirring. Do not let boil. Stir until completely integrated — no salt sludge should remain at the bottom of the pan. Store in a small dropper bottle. Should keep for at least six months.
