4 X TWO KEYS GRAPEFRUIT SODA

We cracked these open for a round of Palomas and the grapefruit flavor is bright without being syrupy. It pairs perfectly with the mezcal, making the whole thing taste like a proper bar drink at home.

This grapefruit soda nails the balance between tart and sweet, and it genuinely complements the smoky depth of the mezcal in a Paloma. I threw a pinch of salt on the rim like the recipe suggests and it was dangerously easy to drink. The two keys per bottle is a clever touch for keeping the fizz fres

The bubbles are lively enough to stand up to smoky mezcal, which is exactly what I wanted for making a proper Paloma at home. It’s got that clean, bitter grapefruit bite that keeps the drink refreshing instead of syrupy. I’ve already gone through two bottles this week.
