Chilli Paloma

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Why you are pouring this tonight

A slice of fresh red chilli pressed against the ice, a tajin rim. The grapefruit takes the heat well; the lime keeps it bright. Works with any tequila, but an Espolon Reposado’s oak softens the spice.

What changes from the Paloma

Tajin replaces plain salt on the rim. Red chilli muddled lightly. Reposado tequila if you have it.

What to pour it alongside

Al pastor tacos, carnitas, anything with pineapple and chilli.
