  • Delicious. Lil margarita, alotta smoke and grapefruit. Great smokey/sweet combo. Is a salt rim crazy? I had a two by doing 1.33 (=2oz mezcal) and it was a bit too much drink (volume, not alcohol). Maybe only one.
  • Wow - like a smoky grapefruit margarita. Perfectly balanced. Maybe too smooth - easy to go overboard!

8.25 ounces is a big drink...I halved it. Grapefruit and Aperol play real well with the mezcal (I used Vida). A saline solution could be fun to play with in this. I'd double strain next time.

It's meant to be two drinks, but there's a handy resizing tool in the corner... Thanks,  Zachary

I added an ounce of simple syrup, which gives it a little more accessibility. The sweetness pairs well with the grapefruit, and the smokiness from the mezcal comes through.

This is a less sugary less alcohol foreword Division Bell cocktail and both are delicious. I love finding this one because it uses grapefruit juice, and is a lighter drink for when I want something with more fruit juice as the sweetener.
