Paloma

three homemade Palomas in a salt rimmed glasses over ice garnished with grapefruit wedges with extra wedges on the counter
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  0 min

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt or Tajin® Clasico, for rimming
  • 1 grapefruit wedge
  • 2 ounces tequila blanco
  • 1 ½ ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice, (from 1 large lime)
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 2 ounces grapefruit soda, (such as Squirt or Jarritos)

Method

  1. Place the salt on a small plate. Rub the rim of a highball or rocks glass with the grapefruit wedge (reserve the wedge for serving), then dip the rim into the salt. Fill the glass with ice.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and bitters. Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is very cold, about 20 seconds.
  3. Pour through a strainer into the prepared glass. Top with grapefruit soda, garnish with a grapefruit wedge or peel and serve.
