History

Mezcal in Time is a modern recipe that pairs mezcal with grapefruit and thyme. Mezcal and grapefruit are a classic Mexican combination, and thyme adds an herbal note that complements the smoke.

How are you making it? ⓘ Batching includes dilution water. Pre-batched cocktails need added water to replace the melt from stirring or shaking. We use Jeffrey Morgenthaler's standard: 18% for spirit-forward drinks, 25% for shaken.
