I would think one would hold the orange strips over, rather than under the match or lighter flame.

Double or triple the limes, half the sugar, 1.5 oz mezcal

We split the base between two highball glasses and that seems fine. I wouldn’t bother shaking the sugar and water. I use a Boston shaker and it failed to make a seal without any ice and resulted in a sticky mess. If I made this again i would use a cocktail mixing glass and would imagine that would work just as well and be less sticky. I also didn’t notice any flavor from the charred orange peel, although my oranges are a little on the older side so that could be why.
