"Add some savory peppercorn and sweet ginger notes to a traditional tequila classic with this Peppercorn Paloma. Hints of pepper’s heat and flavor float around in the bubbles of the grapefruit soda to give a touch more complexity to the common Paloma. If you love smoke, add a touch of mezcal to change the flavor profile substantially."
