- Don't be afraid to adjust the ingredients to your taste. This recipe is a starting point, so feel free to adjust the ingredients to your own preferences. If you like your cocktails sweeter, add more simple syrup. If you like them spicier, add more jalapeño peppers.
- Serve the Paloma Picante immediately. This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of chili powder.
