Summer in my house is a never-ending pool party sun-fest! We are outside people and, once summer comes, we eat, drink, splash and live outdoors. This paloma cocktail tastes the way sunshine feels. Does that sound crazy? It’s never too much but always just enough. Tart and smooth but not sweet, it’s a refreshing summer sip!
You can use mescal or tequila depending on your preference. It’s so easy, so perfect, so divinely summer!
