Give a spicy kick to a traditional Mexican grapefruit Paloma. Use Hatch peppers while they're in season or substitute jalapenos.

Hatch Pepper Palomas

Add grapefruit juice, tequila, lime juice, hatch pepper, and, if desired, agave, to a cocktail shaker. Muddle ingredients using a muddler or a spoon. Add ice to cocktail shaker and shake thoroughly until chilled.

Strain into 4 (6-oz each) ice-filled cocktail glasses and top each glass with 3-oz. champagne. If desired, garnish with hatch pepper slices, if desired.
