    Pre-chill a clear coupe and cut exactly one very thin compact quarter-wheel from a small orange slice.

    Measure equal parts mezcal, blanco tequila, red bitter aperitif, amaro, dry vermouth, and sweet vermouth into a mixing glass.

  3. 03

    Fill the mixing glass with solid cold ice and place a bar spoon against the inside wall.

  4. 04

    Stir steadily until the six-part cocktail is thoroughly chilled, integrated, and properly diluted.

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so the burnt-orange surface remains clear and free of ice fragments.
