⚡ Print Recipe

This cocktail is an original by Dustin Popp that he created for a challenge: make the best bachelorette party cocktail. We thought this cocktail sounded wonderful and made our own riff by adding ½ oz of our Grapefruit Cordial and reducing the honey syrup from 1 oz to ½ oz.

This is a very refreshing cocktail and a wonderful pairing between the smokey mezcal and the grapefruit juice. Named after the Kentucky Derby winner from 1982, Gato Del Sol!

Ingredients:

  • ½ oz Rio Red Grapefruit Cordial
  • 1 ½ oz mezcal
