Comments & Discussion

Graeme McPherson
The smokiness of the Mezcal makes this drink a bit of a mashup of a traditional Paloma with imaginary wisps of Laphroaig!
Quite a fun and offbeat drink.

Yes! One of our go to drinks. We up the fresh lime to 1 oz, and use a blend of margarita salt and Tajin pepper on the rim. We haven't tried with fresh squeezed grapefruit, opting instead for all GUS of Fever Tree Grapefruit soda. We omit the agave because we prefer our drinks sour and not sweet.
