Notes

If you don't have mezcal, you can also definitely make this with Tequila. Just replace mezcal with the same amount of your favorite tequila in this recipe.
If you don't drink alcohol, you can definitely make this recipe without the alcohol and it will still be just as delicious!
If you can't find chili lime seasoning, you could also use a mix of coarse salt and mild chili powder for the rim.
