Description
The Paloma is a traditional Mexican drink that features tequila, grapefruit juice, sparkling grapefruit soda, sparkling water, and fresh lime juice. It’s the most perfect thirst quenching mash up! I just love its citrusy flavor, tangy sweetness, and pretty pink color.
Ingredients
(links below are the gluten free & celiac safe products I used in this recipe)
- ice
- 1 1/2 ounces tequila (silver or blanco)
- 1 1/2 ounces grapefruit juice
- juice from 1/4 lime
- 1 ounce sparkling grapefruit soda
- 1 ounce sparkling water
- lime wedge for garnish
chili lime salt
Instructions
step 1
Pour some flaky sea salt and tajin into a small dish. Moisten the rim of a glass with a lime wedge. Dip the rim of the glass into the salt and tajin mixture, turning it as needed to coat the rim.
step 2
Fill the glass with ice. Pour in the tequila, grapefruit juice, and lime juice, stir. Top with sparkling grapefruit soda and sparkling water, garnish with a lime wedge.
Notes
to make a lighter Paloma: use la croix grapefruit or sparkling water instead of sparkling grapefruit soda. It will be a little less sweet and have less calories.
to make a spicy Paloma: add a few slices of fresh jalapeno.
