Yield: 1 servings

Description

A paloma is traditionally made with tequila, grapefruit juice, and lime, but this version uses mezcal instead of tequila for a nice smoky twist.

Ingredients

2 wedges fresh lime
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or as needed
1 cup ice cubes
2 ounces mezcal
3 ounces grapefruit soda

Directions

1 Rub the cut side of a lime wedge around the edge of the glass. Place salt on a plate and invert glass into salt to rim the glass. Fill glass with ice. Squeeze juice from the same lime wedge into the glass. Pour mezcal over ice, then top with grapefruit soda. Garnish with remaining lime wedge.
