Mezcal Paloma

Servings: 1 person

Ingredients

  • 2 oz mezcal
  • 2 oz grapefruit soda
  • 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice (about 1/2 a grapefruit)
  • 1 oz simple syrup (see above)
  • sparkling water
  • grapefruit wedge, for garnish
  • sea salt to rim glass
  • lime wedge to rim glass

Instructions

  • Rim your glass with sea salt. To do this, pour a generous amount of sea salt onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then gently press the rim of the glass into your salt. You may need to wiggle the glass in the salt a little bit to get a decent amount onto the rim.
  • Add ice to a cocktail shaker, then add in the mezcal, grapefruit soda, grapefruit juice, and simply syrup. Shake vigorously until the shaker feels cold.
  • Pour into your salted glass, then top off with sparkling water and a grapefruit wedge to garnish.
