Spicy POM Paloma

Calling all mezcal lovers! This cocktail is for you—it’s smoky and spicy, and will make your mouth pucker thanks to the flavors of POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice and grapefruit juice. Make a single serving or batch it for a party. Plus, this paloma is great as a mocktail—just leave out the mezcal or substitute with a zero-proof mezcal option.

Preparation

Place the Tajín on a plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and dip the rim of the glass into the Tajín.
Fill the glass with ice. Add the grapefruit juice, POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice, lime juice, agave, and mezcal. Use a cocktail spoon to stir the ingredients together. Top with club soda and garnish with POM Wonderful Pomegranate Arils and a grapefruit wedge.
