For the Smoky Paloma

Cut the grapefruits in half horizontally.

Using tongs char the cut halves of the grapefruits over an open flame (i.e. kitchen stove burner).

Strain the juice from the charred grapefruit halves into a liquid measuring cup.

Moisten the rims of two, 12oz. cocktail glasses with grapefruit juice.

Pour about a half cup of Chile lime salt onto a small plate and dip the moistened rim of the glass into the salt to create a chili lime rim. Set aside.

In a cocktail shaker filled with 1⁄4 cup ice, combine 2⁄3 cup charred grapefruit juice, agave nectar, club soda, mezcal and chile lime salt. Cover with a tight fitting lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds, and strain into the salt rimmed cocktail glasses.

Garnish with grapefruit wedges and rosemary. Carefully torch the wedges and rosemary using a lighter or open flame for an added smokey note.
