The Paloma is a classic tequila cocktail recipe that pairs tequila with grapefruit soda to make a refreshing, citrusy drink! It’s easy to make at home using real grapefruit or grapefruit soda.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces* tequila blanco
  • 1/2 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 2 ounces** fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
  • 1 ounce soda water
  • Flaky sea salt & grapefruit wedge, for the garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut a notch in the grapefruit wedge, then run the grapefruit around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of flaky sea salt.
  2. To the glass, add the tequila, lime juice, grapefruit juice, and simple syrup and stir until combined.
  3. Fill the glass with ice (clear ice if you want to get fancy!). Top with soda water and serve!

Notes

*To convert to tablespoons, 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons. 

**Or, substitute 4 ounces grapefruit soda for the grapefruit juice, simple syrup and soda water
