Ingredients
For the chile de árbol agave syrup:
- 6 chiles de árbol
- 1 cup agave nectar
- ¾ cup water
For the paloma:
- Lime slice to rim the glass
- Salt to rim the glass
- 2 ounces Gran Centenario® Añejo Tequila

To Prepare
To make the chile de árbol agave syrup:
- Add the chile de árbol, agave, and water to a small saucepan and set over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Lower heat to medium and let simmer for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool to room temperature (do not refrigerate, the mixture will seize) and strain.
To make the paloma:
- Rim a chilled glass with lime and salt. Add the tequila, lime juice, tangerine juice, and 1 ounce of the chile de árbol agave syrup to a shaker, add ice, and shake. Strain into the rimmed glass with ice. Top with a splash of seltzer water and garnish with a tangerine slice.

Love you shows, especially when you interview the locals.
I need to make the agave syrup ahead of time. It states to not refrigerate. Can I leave it on the counter over night?

I think it should be OK to leave it in the counter Diane; to be honest with you I have never done it but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

Hi Patti! Should the chilies de arbol be fresh or dried? I used dried but didn’t really get much flavor from them. However, the drink was delicious anyway!

These are dried chiles, that is why we simmer them first. So glad you liked the Paloma!

Made a Tangerine Chile Gran Paloma for my wife this weekend and now she thinks I’m the greatest cocktail mixing genius ever! Thank you Pati!
Keep up the excellent work. I appreciate your recipes for traditional dishes from Mexico, many of which bring back memories from my own travels there. I’m wondering if you have a recipe from the West Coast of Mexico for Coco Loco, a drink served in a chilled whole coconut, husk and all?

My nieces — who are very much drinking age & love tequila — will love this for Xmas! Thank you for showing & representing all of the Mexican Hispanic people in such a positive way which they should be.
