paloma

This easy paloma recipe is perfect for Cinco de Mayo, happy hour, or anytime you&#x27;re craving a fun drink! After you mix it together, taste and adjust your cocktail to find a balance of flavors you love.

Paloma

tequila

grapefruit juice (plus wedges for garnish)

sparkling water

lime juice

agave nectar

Coarse sea salt (for the rim of the glasses)

Salt the rim of the glass by rubbing a grapefruit wedge around the edge and dipping it onto a small plate of salt.

Mix the tequila, grapefruit juice, sparkling water, lime juice, and agave nectar into the glass. Fill the remainder of the glass with ice. Adjust sweetness to taste. Garnish with grapefruit wedge.

The Paloma is a refreshing, thirst-quenching alternative to the traditional Margarita.  This version is made with freshly-squeezed grapefruit and lime juices, smooth tequila and filled with Club Soda.  Citrus fruit can vary in sweetness so if the grapefruit juice is naturally too sweet, a bit of agave nectar can be added to sweeten it up if desired.  A perfect warm-weather sipper or for Cinco de Mayo celebrating!

If you like salt on your rim, add a few tablespoons to a wide, shallow bowl. Zest half the grapefruit into the bowl and stir to combine. This will make enough to salt several cocktails and you can save the leftovers in a Ziploc for a day or two.

Chop the jalapeno (leave the seeds and pith to make it a little spicier; remove them for milder) and add them to a cocktail shaker or sturdy glass along with the agave syrup. Use a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon to muddle the jalapenos (basically, gently mash to release the flavor and start infusing the syrup), then add the grapefruit and lime juices. For a spicier drink, let it infuse for at least 15 minutes.

If you're salting your glass, use a paring knife to cut a small slit into the grapefruit wedge and rub it along the rim to moisten it, then roll it in the salt until coated. Gently tap away any excess.

Fill the glass with ice and pour in the cocktail, jalapenos and all. Top with sparkling water, 1/3 to 1/2 cup or to taste. Serve with the grapefruit wedge.

A delicious tequila and grapefruit based cocktail.

Grapefruit & Rose Paloma

grapefruit juice

sugar

rose water

oz tequila

grapefruit rose simple syrup (*made above)

grapefruit soda

rose petals (*crushed)

organic sugar

Begin by making the simple syrup. Add your grapefruit juice, sugar, and rose water to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved completely and the syrup has thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and let cool.

While the syrup is cooling prepare your rose sugar rim for each glass. Add your organic sugar and crushed dried rose petals to a plate and use a spoon to mix. Then, add a small amount of water to a seperate plate. Take each glass and dip it into the plate with water. Then, dip it into the plate containing the rose petal sugar and twist. Let the sugar rim set for at least 5 minutes before adding in the cocktail ingredients.

Once the syrup has cooled and the sugar rim is on make your cocktail! Add 1/4 cup of the syrup to each cocktail glass along with 1.5 oz of tequila and 3/4 cup grapefruit soda. Stir to combine and top each cocktail with ice to fill. Enjoy!

The Paloma cocktail is a refreshing and citrusy drink that originates from Mexico. It is said to be named after La Paloma (the dove), a popular folk song in Mexico. The combination of lemon juice, tequila, and grapefruit juice creates a tangy and slightly bitter flavor profile, balanced out by the addition of soda water and a touch of salt. The cocktail is typically served over ice, making it perfect for a hot summer day. The grapefruit juice gives the drink a beautiful pink color, making it visually appealing as well. Whether enjoyed at a beachside bar or at a backyard barbecue, the Paloma is a popular choice among cocktail enthusiasts and is often considered a more refreshing alternative to the classic Margarita.
