Ingredients

  • 1 cup grapefruit juice freshly squeezed
  • ¼ cup lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 TB Simple Syrup*
  • 1 cup silver tequila or good quality blanco
  • 1 cup club soda
  • Optional Garnishes: kosher salt grapefruit slices, lime slices

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small pourable container, combine the fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and tequila. Stir to incorporate well. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
  2. When ready to serve: fill 4 glasses with desired amount of ice. Divide Paloma cocktail into the glasses. Top off with club soda and garnish as desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Simple Syrup: Bring 1 part water and 1 part granulated sugar to a low boil, stirring until fully dissolved. Immediately remove from heat and let fully cool before using. Keep a jar of simple syrup in the fridge to use any time.
  • Alternatively, you can use lemon-lime soda in lieu of the simple syrup and club soda.
  • If you want salt-rimmed glasses, pour kosher salt into a small plate. Moisten rims of glasses with water, lime juice, or grapefruit juice. Dip rims into plate of kosher salt before filling with Paloma.
