Intro
The Story: Sam here! When we first got married, one gift we got was a mixing set. To start, we got a variety of tequila because I was very much into palomas at that time. So this recipe came about from having our remaining tequila and our love for yuzu. I recommend you play around with the sweetness and yuzu juice, as they can vary. But enjoy our summer yuzu paloma.
