The Paloma is a refreshing and simple drink based out of Mexico and is quickly becoming one of my favorite summer cocktails. A little sweet, a little sour and a little salty, the Paloma is a lot like a margarita but much easier to make. Here is the recipe for my favorite version:
.
.
1 part Tequila--- I used Jose Cuervo because that's what we had but you could certainly use something a little smoother
3 parts Grapefruit Soda---I've found that both Squirt and grapefruit flavored Jarritos work well but Squirt might be a little less sweet and is therefore my preference
1 Lime---1/2 oz juice, wedges for garnish
Salt for rim
.
Instructions:
.
Step 1: Salt rim of glass
Step 2: Fill glass with ice then add lime juice and tequila
Step 3: Top the glass with grapefruit soda
Step 4: Stir and garnish with lime
Step 5: Enjoy :)
