Method
Prepare Glass
Optional salt rim
If you prefer a salted rim, rub the lime wedge around the edge of a rocks glass and dip the rim into coarse salt; set the glass aside.
Mix Drink
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to chill and dilute properly.
Add 2 oz mezcal, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters into the shaker.
Shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and the outside is frosty.
Serve
Fill the prepared rocks glass with fresh ice (a large cube or several medium cubes).
Strain the shaken mixture into the glass over the ice.
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally, add an extra dash of bitters on top for aroma.
Serve immediately.
