Looks good! Seems a little weaker than the one I submitted in 2023!! The salt seems appropriate, but I'm not sure it's needed if using Tajín.

Thanks, Richard. I wish I'd picked up on your recipe and the Mezcalita back in 2023. My recipe has the same alcohol strength, or even a little higher than yours, due to a lower proportion of orange juice, but fewer units of alcohol due to smaller measures. Your recipe has 90ml of 40% liquor, while I try to keep to 75ml max.
