Mezcal Paloma is a smoky version of the classic Paloma cocktail, replacing tequila with authentic Mezcal 4-10. This refreshing and complex drink combines the acidity of pink grapefruit with the smoky notes of artisanal Oaxacan mezcal, perfect for enjoying on hot days.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ oz de Mezcal 4-10 blanco
• 1 ½ oz grapefruit juice
• ½ oz lime juice
• ⅓ oz agave syrup
• Grapefruit soda (such as Squirt or Toms Henry)
• Salt or chili powder to sprinkle on the rim of the glass (optional)
• Grapefruit or lime slice for garnish
• Ice cubes

Preparation:

If desired, moisten the rim of the glass with grapefruit or lime juice and coat with salt. In a cocktail shaker with ice, mix the Mezcal 4-10, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and agave syrup. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds and strain the mixture into the prepared glass, avoiding ice. Top with grapefruit soda to add effervescence. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit or lime for an aromatic touch.

Enjoy this unique blend that combines tradition and freshness in every sip of Mezcal Paloma.
