Ingredients
- 2 Earl Grey tea bags or 1/4 oz loose-leaf Earl Grey tea
- 1 cup sugar

- 3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz. Earl Grey syrup

Method
- For the Earl Grey syrup, pour 1 cup boiling water over the tea in a glass or ceramic container and steep for 7 minutes, then strain into a resealable jar, stir in the sugar until mostly dissolved, let it cool until barely warm, seal and shake until the sugar fully dissolves; chill the syrup until needed.
- Combine the mezcal, lime juice, 1/2 oz. of the Earl Grey syrup, the pamplemousse liqueur and the pinch of salt with ice in a cocktail shaker.
- Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds, double strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with the salt-dipped grapefruit slice if using.
