To Serve

Garnish with a pinch of toasted sesame seeds.

Ritual

Let the salt and sesame meet first — it changes the whole sip.

Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.

Story

Sesame brings a toasty, nutty depth that pairs beautifully with mezcal’s smoke.

Orange lifts the profile, while worm salt adds a savory finish.

A sour that feels unexpected but perfectly balanced.

Notes & Variations

  • Replace orange juice with tangerine for extra brightness.
