Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a juice reamer, squeeze the juice from 3 large grapefruits and set aside.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, add diced jalapeños and the juice from one lime. Spend 2-3 minutes muddling the jalapeños into the lime juice.
  3. Then, strain the seeds from the juice.
  4. Add mezcal, triple sec, the juice from the second lime, and all of the grapefruit juice. Shake together.
  5. If you’d like, rim a glass with fresh lime and garnish with salt or sugar before pouring the cocktails.
  6. Pour Paloma mixture over ice into cups. Top with club soda and serve with a grapefruit peel.
  7. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use store bought grapefruit juice, but it doesn’t even hold a candle to fresh grapefruit juice. Fresh squeezed is SIGNIFICANTLY better.
