Dan Greenbaum of Attaboy opts for a lighter interpretation of the Margaladaoma challenge. Ginger juice makes for a fresh spin on the spice of a Michelada, while mezcal and lime recall the classic Margarita combo. To lengthen a la Paloma, a generous dose of Negra Modelo lifts the drink while still keeping it dark and meaty.
