Spicy Mezcal Paloma


  • Author: Michelle Nash

Description

This mezcal paloma is tart, smoky, spicy, and a little bit sweet.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 oz blanco tequila (I like LALO)
  • 1 oz mezcal (I like Madre mezcal)
  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
  • 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1/2 oz honey
  • 1 oz sparkling water (I like Topo Chico)
  • sliced jalapeño
  • chili salt: mix pink Himalayan salt and Tajín seasoning together in a small bowl
  • garnish with a grapefruit wedge and a handful of rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  1. Mix equal parts pink Himalayan salt and Tajín in a small bowl. Transfer to a plate and spread across the plate evenly. Wet the rim of a cocktail glass with a lime wedge, then dip the cocktail glass upside down into the chili salt mixture to line the rim.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add tequila, mezcal, lime juice, grapefruit juice, a jalapeño slice, and honey.
  3. Strain into an ice-filled glass and add a splash of Topo Chico on top.
  4. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge and a rosemary sprig.
