This is a cross between a margarita and an amaretto sour - a smoky mezcal works nicely here, but if you are not an agave fan (mezcal is an agave-based liqueur), this recipe can be done with rye whiskey instead.

1 handful	Ice
1 pinch	Salt
2 dashes	Angostura bitters
30 ml	Fresh lime juice
60 ml	Pink grapefruit juice
30 ml	Amaretto
30 ml	Mezcal, or rye whiskey

Chill a Nick and Nora glass or coupe. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add the salt, bitters, lime and grapefruit juices, amaretto andmezcal. Seal and shake vigorously for 15 seconds, then double-strain into the glass.
