Chill a coupe glass.
Combine mezcal, Aperol-style aperitivo, Maraschino liqueur, and freshly squeezed lime juice in a cocktail shaker.
Add ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds.
Double-strain into the chilled coupe glass.
Express a grapefruit zest twist over the surface of the drink, run it around the rim, and place it on the glass as garnish.
Created by bartender Phil Ward at Death & Co in New York City, the Division Bell proves that mezcal's smokiness can anchor a Last Word-style framework even better than gin, provided the Maraschino is kept restrained so the agave character stays front and center.
