Paloma cocktail with a lime wedge

Grapefruit Sour Paloma

The Trece Monos Grapefruit Sour Paloma is a refreshing and fruity cocktail that is popular in Mexico. The grapefruit soda adds a bubbly touch to the blend of Trece Monos mezcal, lime juice, and grapefruit juice. The Paloma is believed to have originated in the 1800s in the city of Tequila, where it was made with tequila instead of mezcal.

In a shaker, combine 1.5 oz Trece Monos mezcal, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz grapefruit juice, and 0.5 oz agave syrup. Shake well and strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Top with grapefruit soda and garnish with a lime wedge.
