Skinny Paloma (no sugar added)

The Skinny Paloma cocktail offers a refreshing blend of fresh grapefruit juice, tequila, and lime juice served over ice. It has a crisp, citrus-forward flavor with optional grapefruit-flavored sparkling water for a light fizz. The drink uses no added sugar and can be rimmed with sea salt for balance, making it a lower-calorie option to enjoy a classic Mexican-inspired cocktail.

Description

This Paloma recipe combines freshly juiced grapefruit with tequila and lime juice stirred together in a glass filled with ice. A splash of grapefruit-flavored sparkling water can add effervescence without added sugar. The optional salt rim enhances the tartness and provides a contrast to the citrus elements.

The resulting cocktail is lively and citrusy, suitable for warm weather or as a light mixed drink. Fresh juicing allows control over sweetness and freshness, avoiding commercial mixers.

This recipe can be easily customized with more or less lime juice or sparkling water depending on taste preferences.
