Description: A short, smoky, frothy mezcal sour topped with soda, following the same structure as a classic Gin Fizz.
Cultural Background: A modern craft-cocktail adaptation applying the classic Fizz format to mezcal as the spirit's popularity grew through the 2010s and 2020s.
Tips: Shake hard and long to build real froth before straining.
