A lot of people got excited about Riz Ahmed's break-up album with Great Britain, The Long Goodbye. Me, I thought it was just too conventional — he isn't as formally and politically audacious as the U.S.'s own Daveed Diggs in the actor/rapper category. Still, this video realization of the piece has to be worth considering.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: What else but a Long Goodbye? Pour 1 oz. soda water into a Collins glass. Then, pour 1/2 oz. Mezcal, 1-1/2 oz. Cynar, 1 oz. orange juice, and 1/4 oz. each of lime juice and Simple Syrup into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into the Collins glass over the soda water. Add ice. Garnish with a lime wedge.
