Paloma Cocktail
Description
The Paloma Cocktail combines tequila and fresh lime juice poured over ice, then topped with grapefruit soda. The drink emphasizes bright, citrus flavors paired with the distinctive character of tequila. Optionally, the glass rim can be salted by rubbing it with lime and dipping in salt, which adds a savory contrast to the drink’s sweetness and tartness.
Prepared in a highball glass, this cocktail is modestly refreshing and not overly complicated, making it suitable for many occasions. Garnishing with a lime wedge adds aroma and visual appeal.
For a less strong drink, letting the ice melt slightly helps dilute the alcohol while preserving flavor, helpful for extended sipping.

- 1/2 oz. lime juice
- 1/2 c. grapefruit soda
- lime wedge
