Mexa

Conejo Mexa is a bold, lively, and intensely refreshing highball that pairs the oak-aged depth of 400 Conejos Reposado Mezcal with vibrant citrus and a spicy kick. It builds a deeply flavorful base directly in a highball glass—prepared with an ice-filled and chili-powder-rimmed edge—by combining 40 ml of the reposado mezcal, 15 ml of chile liqueur, 50 ml of natural grapefruit juice, and 10 ml of fresh seedless lime juice. The mixture is then topped off with crisp grapefruit soda and gently stirred to thoroughly integrate the ingredients. This lively, complex cocktail is finished with a half-moon slice of fresh grapefruit for an exceptionally satisfying, sun-kissed presentation.
