Rosemary Grapefruit Mezcal Fizz with Worm Salt
From Oaxaca to your glass — a Don Catrin recipe.
Story
Grapefruit brings bitterness; rosemary brings pine and perfume; mezcal brings smoke.
Worm salt ties these edges together and keeps the drink grounded.
A bright fizz that feels crisp, aromatic, and elegant.
