The Lost Explorer Earthy Paloma

The Lost Explorer Earthy Paloma

The Lost Explorer Mezcal is a handcrafted spirit made from 100% agave, cultivated in the sun-soaked Valles Centrales, Oaxaca in Mexico. Harvested in harmony with the elements and in tune with the rhythm of nature, the three uniquely profiled expressions, Espadín, Tobalá, and Salmiana, seek to inspire people to celebrate the earth and live curiously, exploring the wonder and diversity of the sacred agave plant. The Lost Explorer has created a series of re-imagined cocktails including the Earthy Paloma. This is made with The Lost Explorer Espadín which provides a balanced, herbaceous, and smoky flavor encouraging one to further discover the fabulous world of mezcal. To make the cocktail add 45ml of The Lost Explorer Espadín Mezcal, 90ml grapefruit juice, and 7.5ml lime juice to cocktail shakers and top with ice. Shake well and strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Top up with tonic water to dilute if you wish.
