Make it.

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

To Serve

Garnish with a thin lime wheel or a small piece of tamarind candy.

Ritual

Let the first sip linger on the tongue. Tamarind, smoke, salt — each arrives in its own moment.

Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.

Story

Tamarind is a classic Mexican flavor — tart, sticky, and nostalgic. Paired with mezcal, it feels like a memory: sweet at first, then smoky and deep.

Worm salt adds a savory edge that cuts through the sweetness and keeps the drink grounded. It’s the difference between a simple mezcalita and a ritual.

This is a drink for nights that stretch long, with music low and conversation even lower.

Notes & Variations

  • Add a splash of orange liqueur for a rounder finish.
