Paloma Punch

Move over Margaritas! The Paloma—a mix of grapefruit, lime and tequila—is a staple Mexican cocktail. This punch riffs off the Paloma, but it swaps out tequila for mezcal to give it a smoky undertone, and uses a grapefruit radler to add a touch of grainy sweetness and light carbonation.

Recipe on page 124

You don’t need a punch bowl to craft these delish refreshments; use what you have, like a vintage ice bucket, pretty serving bowl or brightly hued Dutch oven, and serve with a ladle or large spoon. Cocktail-size stainless steel straws also double for stir sticks, so you’ll never have to use mushy paper or plastic straws again.
