Paloma Point with Mango Hemp Oil
Happy Friday! We are back in the bar for another chilly, Maine May Friday. This weeks cocktail is inspired by a Pete Stanton recipe found here. For this hemp infused beverage we put a spin on a very refreshing, very "gutsy" cocktail: "Paloma Point." Crisp, smoky and bright.
The details
We are looking for a sweet Italian vermouth with a bitter Italian spirit to mix about 3:1 with the mezcal. We experimented with many different options as you can see in the video and they were all pretty darn good. The combination of grapefruit and the smoky mezcal is intoxicating and easily hides the other variations. We did find it was easy to over do the sweet vermouth though. It's a fine balance between the sweet and bitter spirits but it seems with a couple tries you can find it. The Paloma Point is a full flavored drink at full strength as outlined below, we did find you can dilute it quite a bit more than is called for with the club soda if you want something better suited to sipping all afternoon.
