Poblano Paloma

Leave it to Beau du Bois of Puesto in Southern California to make a classic refresher even more summery (see his coconut Margarita and cantaloupe Mojito). For this twist on the Paloma cocktail, he plays up the bittersweetness of grapefruit by adding Aperol and the freshness with a touch of poblano’s vegetal spice. “When a Paloma is made thoughtfully, it’s summer sunshine in a glass that anyone can just crush,” he says. And this Poblano Paloma “has a very seamless, welcoming flavor perfect for crushing a few of them.”
