New on the blog: For Cinco de Mayo, kick things up a notch with this smoky, spicy alternative to the margarita… The Spicy Paloma
2 oz mezcal
1/2 fresh grapefruit, squeezed (or 2 oz juice)
1/2 oz agave nectar
2 dashes mole bitters (or substitute Angostura bitters)
1-4 slices jalapeño (to preferred heat)
4 oz club soda
Coarse ground salt (for rim, optional)
Prepare a salt-rimmed highball glass half-full of ice. Muddle jalapeño slice(s) and 2 dashes of bitters in a second glass or cup. Add mezcal, grapefruit juice and agave nectar. Stir and strain through fine mesh into ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds or until shaker is frosted. Pour into prepared highball glass. Top with soda and garnish with de-seeded jalapeño.
