Spicy Mezcal Paloma Cocktail

Spicy Mezcal Paloma Cocktail

This is Paloma cocktail perfection! A delectable sipper with heat, smoke, and sweet flavors. Ancho Reyes chili liqueur provides a warm, spicy kick to this cocktail, while a tad of mezcal adds smoke and depth. Pineapple juice brings sweetness to the other assertive flavors. For those who aren't mezcal fans, eliminate it and instead add your favorite tequila. Tajin seasoning, with chili pepper, dehydrated lime, and salt, rims the glasses with a hot, salty, sour bite. Enjoy...carefully! 😉
