Notes
These easy Mezcal palomas can be made directly in the glass. Instead of shaking, just stir before enjoying.
Feel free to customize the amount of any ingredients as needed. You can add more lemon juice if desired or try one of the fun variations mentioned above.
The amount of ingredients may vary according to the size of the glass used for serving.
You can mix up palomas in a pitcher if you're serving a crowd. I recommend serving the ice on the side so the drink doesn't get watered down.
