Spice of Life

Spice of Life is a bold, citrusy Paloma variation that introduces a delightful layer of warming baking spice. Shaken with fresh lime and tart grapefruit juices, sweet agave nectar, and herbal, cinnamon-tinged Becherovka liqueur, it features a robust backbone of high-proof silver mezcal and is served over fresh ice with a grapefruit wedge.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ oz Xicaru Silver 102°

  • ½ oz cinnamon liqueur (Becherovka, Goldschläger, Fireball) or 2 dashes Angostura bitters

  • ½ oz lime juice

  • ¾ oz grapefruit juice

  • ¾ oz agave

Instructions:

  • Shake and strain over fresh ice into a rocks glass. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge.
