THE BEST PALOMA COCKTAIL RECIPE

This is Mexico’s favorite tequila cocktail, the Paloma. Rosey-hued and bittersweet, this grapefruit and tequila highball gets a fizzy finish with a splash of grapefruit soda.

Prep Time    : 5 mins

Servings      : 1

INGREDIENTS

·         1 tablespoon kosher salt (optional)

·         Grapefruit or lime wedge (optional)

·         Ice

·         1/4 cup 100% agave blanco or silver tequila (2 ounces)

·         1/4 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice (2 ounces, from 1/2 grapefruit)

·         1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (1/2 ounce)

·         1/2 cup grapefruit soda (4 ounces), such as Jarritos

INSTRUCTIONS

1.   If you'd like a salt rim, pour the salt into a small dish. Moisten the rim of a tall glass with a grapefruit or lime wedge. Invert the glass into the salt, turning it as needed, to coat the rim.

2.   Fill the glass with ice. Pour in the tequila, grapefruit juice, and lime juice, and stir to combine. Top with the grapefruit soda, stir, and garnish with the grapefruit or lime wedge.
