Easy Paloma Cocktail Recipe – A Refreshing Tequila Grapefruit Drink
This easy Paloma cocktail recipe is bright, citrusy, and ready in just 5 minutes! Perfect for Cinco de Mayo or a refreshing summer sipper. Cheers!
Ingredients
- 2 oz Blanco tequila
- 1 oz grapefruit juice red or pink
- ½ oz lime juice fresh
- 1 oz sparkling water
- ¼ oz agave necter or simple syrup
Instructions
- Chill a lowball or Tom Collins glass by filling it with ice.
- Once the glass is chilled, pour the ice into a shaker and add the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and agave syrup.
- Rim the glass with coarse salt.
- Pour the shaker contents into the glass. I enjoy the ice in my cocktail but you can strain it out if that's what you prefer.
- Add the sparkling water to the glass and give it a quick stir. Add a garnish using either a wedge of grapefruit or a lime wheel.
Notes
Ice can be added to the cocktail glass or strained to serve neat.
We use a small amount of agave and adjust the sweetness to the shaker before pouring it into the glass.
Sparkling water can be substituted with a grapefruit soda such as "Fresca".
