Method
Cut the grapefruit in half horizontally. Cut one half into (½ -inch) slices and keep the other intact.
Using an open flame from a kitchen torch, carefully char the intact grapefruit half and the grapefruit slices. Juice the charred grapefruit into a small bowl.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ⅓ cup ice. Add the Mezcal, 2 ounces of the charred grapefruit juice, simple syrup, club soda, egg white, and bitters. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, shake vigorously for 15 seconds, or until cold and the egg white is foamy. Strain into a cocktail glass.
Garnish with charred grapefruit wedges.
