Make it.

  1. Rim a rocks glass with worm salt and fill with ice.
  2. Shake mezcal, guava, lime, and agave with ice.
  3. Strain over ice into the prepared glass.

To Serve

Garnish with a lime wheel.

Ritual

Take a sip, then a small taste of the rim — the salt pulls the guava into focus.

Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.

Story

Guava brings a soft tropical sweetness that meets mezcal’s smoke with grace.

Worm salt adds a savory edge that keeps the fruit from drifting too sweet.

This smash is lush, grounded, and made for slow evenings.

Notes & Variations

  • Add a splash of soda water for a lighter finish.
