Made with
Garnish with a grapefruit slice and a pinch of worm salt on the rim’s edge.
Take a sip, then a tiny bite of the rim. Let the bitter grapefruit and smoky mezcal take turns. This is the kind of drink that makes time slow down.
Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.
The paloma is Mexico’s everyday refreshment — easy, bright, and made for long afternoons. With mezcal, it gains a smoky undertone that feels like evening in Oaxaca.
Worm salt on the rim sharpens the grapefruit and adds a mineral edge that keeps the drink grounded. It turns a classic into something more layered and more ritual.
Light, citrusy, and quietly smoky, this paloma is built for slow conversation and warm air.
