Dusky Dove' is a deliciously fresh, easy-to-prepare non-alcoholic cocktail with Mokum Dusk True Blend, grapefruit juice and a touch of chilli. The recipe is inspired by the Mexican cocktail 'Paloma', which is prepared with tequila and grapefruit juice or sparkling water with a grapefruit flavour. The name is a tribute to the 'Paloma' - which means 'dove' in Spanish. Its fresh bitterness makes it a great aperitif.
