Method
Cocktail
Measure and combine
Add 2 oz Austero Mezcal, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave nectar, and 2 dashes orange bitters (if using) into a cocktail shaker.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (enough to chill well). Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and well-diluted.
Prepare glass
If you want a salted rim, rub the lime wedge around the rim of an old-fashioned glass and dip it in a small plate of coarse or smoked salt. Otherwise, skip this step.
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into an old-fashioned glass over a large ice cube or into a chilled coupe without ice, depending on preference.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge. Serve immediately.
