Makes 1

Kosher salt

1 grapefruit wedge

2 oz. fresh grapefruit juice (¼ cup)

1 teaspoon sugar

2oz. mezcal or tequila (¼ cup)

2. In the same glass, combine grapefruit juice, lime juice, and sugar, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Next, add mezcal to the mixture and give it a good stir. Add some ice to the glass and top it off with club soda for a refreshing fizz.

4. Finally, garnish the cocktail with a grapefruit wedge to enhance its presentation. Enjoy the delightful combination of grapefruit, mezcal, and citrus flavors in this refreshing beverage.

The Paloma cocktail is where refreshment meets elegance. A harmonious fusion of zesty grapefruit, and smooth tequila with a touch of lime juice.
