Grapefruit Soda

Equal parts smoky and tart, this refreshing cocktail tastes just as good while sitting around the campfire as it does when you're lounging on the beach.

Dolly Dolly Recipe:

1/4 cup cilantro, packed

2 oz mezcal

1 oz grapefruit juice

4 oz Top Note Sparkling Grapefruit Soda

Garnish: glass rimmed with grapefruit and salt, fresh cilantro

Rim your glass with grapefruit and salt, then shake off any excess. Place the cilantro and juice in the bottom of the glass and muddle gently, then fill with ice. Add mezcal and Grapefruit Soda, stir, and garnish.

The Negroni Sbagliato is a lighter, brighter version of the classic Negroni. Typically comprised of sweet vermouth, Campari, and sparkling wine, we swapped out the wine for our Sparkling Grapefruit Soda. The resulting cocktail is pleasantly bittersweet and with a lower ABV, you don't have to worry about tapping out too early in the evening.

Ah, the classic Paloma: it's tart, refreshing, and easy to make. The salt rim is optional, but it adds an enjoyably savory dimension. If you're looking for an extra kick, try rimming your glass with Tajín.
