We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
We have been digging into some awesome summer cocktails lately. Sometimes we keep it super simple with vodka and flavored seltzer (Grapefruit Spindrift is a recent favorite), but we are always on the hunt for a good cocktail recipe! Today, I’m going to link up on Full Plate Thursday, so be sure to check out some other awesome recipes over there after you check out the cocktail recipe below!
Last weekend we found a recipe for Lemon and Rosemary Bourbon Sours on Foxes Love Lemons and mixed those up for dinner with another couple on Saturday night! The results were awesome!
For the 4th we wanted something with Mezcal because, let’s face it, Mezcal is awesome. So, while spending the afternoon playing in the sprinkler with our little P, we came up with our recipe for Sparkling Mezcal Palomas. They were delightful, refreshing and hit the spot on a hot summer evening!
Sparkling Mezcal Paloma (makes 2 cocktails)
4 oz Mezcal (we like Mezcal Vago)
1 grapefruit
1/2 lime
6-7 oz club soda
Juice grapefruit and lime and add juice to an ice filled cocktail shaker. Add Mezcal. Shake well and strain into 2 highball glasses filled with ice. Split club soda between glasses and give them a quick swirl to combine. Garnish with lime or grapefruit slices. Enjoy!
