Chill your martini glass with ice and water beforehand for an extra refreshing drink.

Muddle or twist the basil to release its oils (where all the flavor is).

Use fresh-squeezed pink or red grapefruit juice in this mezcalini.

Add a few more ice cubes to the cocktail shaker to keep it cool.

Add your mezcal and give everything a good shake for 15-20 seconds.

Double strain your mezcalini to catch any small bits of basil or grapefruit seeds.

Garnish this cocktail with a basil leaf or a slice of dehydrated grapefruit.
