Spicy Paloma Syrup

Portland Syrup's Spicy Paloma Syrup is the paloma in a bottle, reformulated for people who love a version with serious heat. Real grapefruit puree, lime, and a hit of Habanero — plus a unique spice blend from Secret Aardvark, the Portland hot sauce institution that's been turning brunch into an event for two decades. The result is a syrup that does the work of a craft cocktail in the time it takes to pour.

Combine 45ml syrup with 60ml tequila or mezcal, shake with ice, and you've made delicious spicy paloma. Splash it into a margarita for an instant heat upgrade. Mix it with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime for a non-alcoholic spicy paloma soda that holds its own at a barbecue. It's also unreasonably good drizzled over grilled shrimp or chicken.

Tasting Notes: bright pink grapefruit, real Habanero heat, lime brightness, savory Secret Aardvark spice, citrus-forward finish

Perfect For: Spicy paloma loyalists, Portland fans, tequila and mezcal drinkers, summer BBQ hosts, hot sauce enthusiasts, and anyone who's been making palomas the hard way.

Best Enjoyed In: Spicy Palomas (45ml syrup + 60ml tequila + ice + sparkling water), spicy margaritas, mezcal cocktails, paloma mocktails (45ml + sparkling water + lime), or as a shrimp-and-chicken glaze on the grill.
