Spicy Ginger-Grapefruit Mezcal Cocktail

(30)
"Craving something multi-dimensional--something tart, spicy, savory, bite-y, a little bitter, and smoky. This fit the bill nicely! Smoke from mezcal and smoked salt, spice from Ancho Reyes and arbol chile on the rim, bite from Barrow's Intense ginger, savory from salt and chiles, bitter from the Bittermans hopped grapefruit bitters, and tart from grapefruit and lime. Completely mouthwatering.⁣ Everything I ever wanted.⁣ 😋"
