Craving a long refreshing sip this summer? The Mezcal Delight is the perfect drink for you. It's a beloved Mexican variation, with a unique twist, using mezcal instead of tequila. Each sip evokes the taste of summer, while the hint of agave adds a subtle sweetness. With a quick five-minute preparation, it's as easy to make as it is to savor.

Ingredients

Lime juice (optional)
50 ml mezcal
30 ml fresh grapefruit juice
10 ml agave syrup
Ice cubes
Sparkling water

Preparation steps

If you choose to salt the rim of your glass like a classic margarita, dip the rim in a saucer of lime juice, then into a saucer of sea salt.
Put all the ingredients, except the sparkling water, into a cocktail shaker, fill it with ice, and shake well.
Strain the mixture into a large Collins glass filled with fresh ice, top up with sparkling water, and garnish with a slice of grapefruit.
