Notes
- Use fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh grapefruit and lime juice. Bottled juices can be used in a pinch, but fresh juice will make a noticeable difference.
- Adjust to taste: Feel free to adjust the sweetness and tartness of your Paloma. Add some sweetener like agave nectar or simple syrup if you like, or more lime juice for extra tartness.
- Chill your ingredients: For a truly refreshing drink, make sure all your ingredients are well-chilled before mixing.
