Make it.

  1. If using egg white, dry shake all ingredients first, then shake with ice.
  2. Lightly rim half the glass with worm salt.
  3. Strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass.

To Serve

Garnish with a small pineapple leaf or lime zest.

Ritual

Let the foam touch your lip, then the salt, then the mezcal. That order makes the drink feel alive.

Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.

Story

Pineapple brings sunlight and sweetness. Mezcal brings dusk and smoke. Together they make a sour that feels like an evening that started warm and ends deep.

The worm salt rim sharpens the pineapple and keeps the drink from drifting too sweet. It gives the cocktail its backbone.

This sour is soft at first sip, then slowly opens into something more layered and grounded.

Notes & Variations

  • Replace egg white with aquafaba for a plant-based foam.
