A traditional Paloma is made with grapefruit soda, but this recipe combines mezcal and freshly squeezed pink juice to create an elegant yet refreshing twist. The honey brings out the floral flavors while salt balances them out for a hint of sweetness that you can enjoy anytime!
Ingredients
4 oz. Fresh grapefruit juice
1½ oz. Fresh lime juice
1 oz. Honey
4 oz. Mezcal
ÂĽ tsp. Kosher salt
2 cups Ice
Lime wheel for garnish, sliced in half crosswise (optional)
Directions
Add grapefruit juice, lime juice, honey, mezcal, and salt to a resealable container. Shake to mix until all honey is dissolved.
Place in the freezer for 4 to 10 hours.
Add mezcal mixture and ice to a blender when you're ready to serve. Blend until the right consistency is achieved and pour into two glasses.
If you like, garnish each glass with half a lime wheel.
