Recipe author: not sure who is the author of this cocktail, but I got the recipe from EatingWell.

Sipping this cocktail is like going on a journey. First you are met by the smoky aroma of Mezcal, then sourness of Tajin Chili Lime seasoning, followed by the actual cocktail notes of lime, agave and triple sec. Eventually you are left with a little bit of heat from Tajin, not overpowering, but just hanging in there to be noticeable.
A really great experience.
