Preparation To make a honey syrup, in a small bowl or jar, combine the honey with 1 1⁄2 ounces water. In a cocktail shaker, combine the mezcal, lemon juice, and 3⁄4 ounce of the honey syrup(save the remaining honey syrup for another cocktail). Fill the shaker three-quarters of theway with ice and shake vigorously for 10 seconds if serving on the rocks or 15 seconds ifserving “up.” Strain into an ice-filled double old-fashioned glass or bucket glass, or serveup with no ice.
