Quick Spicy Paloma

It was about time I learned how to make a fresh Spicy Paloma! I’ve been on a Spicy Margarita/Paloma kick recently so I decided it was time I learned how to properly make one of my own. These tasted pretty good! Next time, I want to use all fresh juice ingredients. But while in a pinch this is a quick, healthy take of a spicy Paloma!

Ingredients: This recipe makes 2 pretty strong Paloma’s

• 4 oz of mezcal 

• 2 oz of grapefruit juice 

• Lime zest 

• 1 tsp of agave nectar 

• 5 slices of jalapeño (with seeds) 

• 1 lime 

• Seltzer 

• Himalayan salt 

Prep:

1. In a shaker, muddle 5 slices of jalapeño 

2. Add 3 shots of mezcal, grapefruit juice, agave nectar, lime zest and the juice, and shake well. 

3. Pour over ice, and top with seltzer water (I used a lime flavored seltzer) 

4. I salted the rim with a little Himalayan salt
