Smoking Rose Paloma

Smoking Rose Paloma

Smoking Rose Paloma – Recipe by Ashley Conway
5 parts Q Drinks Grapefruit Soda
2 parts Montelobos Mezcal
¾ part fresh lime juice
½ part rose simple syrup
For the flower ice: Fill a glass 1/4 the way full with water. Add rose petals. Prop on it’s side in the freezer, making sure it doesn’t spill. Let freeze completely before using. This is an optional step, if you are looking to make a drink ASAP (we all have those days), just add regular ice to the glass. But if you do take the time for this step, it makes one pretty cocktail!

Add all liquid ingredients except Q Drinks Grapefruit Soda into a shaker. Shake well to help dilute the cocktail a bit since the ice in the glass won’t melt as fast. Remove the glass from the freezer. Strain into the glass. Top with the Grapefruit Soda and stir. Garnish with grapefruit slice.
