Why Mezcal Palomas are This Season’s Go-To Cocktail
Complex Taste Meets Refreshing Simplicity
The classic paloma gets a bold upgrade with mezcal. Where tequila offers crispness, mezcal delivers depth. The mezcal paloma pairs fresh grapefruit soda or juice with smoky mezcal, lime, and a touch of salt. It’s a dance of flavors that delights the palate.
It’s also endlessly adaptable. Whether you prefer a sweeter version with agave syrup or something drier and more robust, the mezcal paloma can be tailored to your taste without losing its essence.

The mezcal paloma isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience, a tradition, and a way to support authentic artisans. So as you enjoy this perfect warm-weather cocktail, take a moment to appreciate the heritage in every pour. Cheers to culture in a glass!
