{"product_id":"spicy-paloma-syrup","title":"Spicy Paloma Syrup","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the paloma in a bottle, reformulated for people who want the version with actual heat. Real grapefruit puree, lime, and a hit of Habanero — plus the unmistakable spice blend from our friends at 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombine 1.5 oz syrup with 2 oz tequila or mezcal, shake with ice, and you've made a Spicy Paloma that doesn't taste like grapefruit La Croix with hot sauce in it. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e bright pink grapefruit, real Habanero heat, lime brightness, savory Secret Aardvark spice, citrus-forward finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Short Version:\u003c\/strong\u003e A Portland-meets-Mexico paloma syrup made with real grapefruit, Habanero, and Secret Aardvark's signature spice blend — instant spicy palomas, margaritas, and grilling glazes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Filtered water, organic cane sugar, grapefruit puree, lime puree, Habanero puree, Secret Aardvark spice blend, grapefruit peel, grapefruit extract, citric acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spicy paloma loyalists, Portland fans, tequila and mezcal drinkers, summer-grill hosts, hot sauce enthusiasts, and anyone who's been making palomas the hard way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Enjoyed In:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spicy Palomas (1.5 oz syrup + 2 oz tequila + ice + sparkling water), spicy margaritas, mezcal cocktails, paloma mocktails (1.5 oz + sparkling water + lime), or as a shrimp-and-chicken glaze on the grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Portland Syrups Promise:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ethically sourced, carefully brewed, and bottled in glass jars right here in SE Portland, Oregon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How long does the syrup last after opening?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Our syrups are shelf-stable for 24 months unopened.

We collaborated with them on this syrup specifically because their spice blend is the right kind of heat for a paloma: bright, layered, slightly fruity, never one-note. If you've had their hot sauce on tacos or eggs, you know the flavor profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How spicy is the Spicy Paloma syrup?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Genuinely spicy, but balanced. The Habanero shows up clearly in the finish, with the Secret Aardvark spice blend adding layered warmth that's more flavor-forward than just heat. Most people read it as \"hotter than a regular spicy margarita, less hot than straight hot sauce\" — a sustained, citrus-edged warmth that pairs beautifully with tequila. If you order spicy palomas without flinching, this is squarely in your range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portland Syrups","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54127046000950,"sku":"850074746003","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/0778\/0662\/files\/Spicy_Paloma_12oz_03d1f27c-9bf7-497b-ac3f-c0c6af4fca1b.png?v=1781646470","url":"https:\/\/gatherandset.com\/products\/spicy-paloma-syrup","provider":"Gather \u0026 Set","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
