Navas Paloma

Bright, bittersweet and effortlessly refreshing, this smoky twist on a Paloma cocktail is made for long summer evenings. With just three ingredients, it’s proof that the simplest cocktails are often the most satisfying

If there were ever a drink designed for a heatwave, this might be it. Mezcal’s gentle smokiness meets the citrusy lift of fresh grapefruit before being topped with crisp, effervescent Navas Original Tonic. Finished with a slice of grapefruit and a sprig of rosemary, it’s an easy-drinking aperitif that’s equally at home before a barbecue or enjoyed as the sun goes down on the terrace.
