For a tropical treat, try this Pineapple and Mezcal Highball from master mixologist and bar manager Sasa Ruvidic. “Ride the mezcal wave with this low-effort highball – smoky, earthy and more complex than tequila. The Tajin rim makes it feel extra special, and if you’ve got a pineapple in your fruit bowl, pop in one of its leaves as a garnish.”Time and servings
