The Regal Shake employed in the making of this cocktail adds tartness and bitterness, which, along with the lime juice, counters the rich honey to leave this mezcal and tequila sour a touch on the sour side.

The Oaxacanite is a refined evolution of the margarita, offering nuanced layers beyond the classic salt-rimmed standard. Its subtle natural salinity enhances the earthy and citrus notes, creating a balanced profile perfect for pairing with authentic Mexican cuisine.
