Paloma; A Summer Fav


 A light sparkling and refreshing drink. Reminiscent of a Margarita with a little extra. There are tons of recipes out there but this is the one that I make over and over.

1 Grapefruit

1 Lime

2oz Tequila

1/2 shot of Triple Sec / Cointreau / Grand Mariner - your favorite Orange Liqueur

1/2 shot Ginger Liquor - if you're not a Ginger fan, just leave it out

1 can Grapefruit Sparkling Water

Salt for the rim, also optional


1. Use a wedge of lime for your rim and salt it.

2. Add ice to your glass

3. Add the juice of 1/2 lime and 1/2 grapefruit

4. Add your liquors of Choice

5. Stir and top off with some Sparking Water, garnish with a lime wedge.


Obviously we all have our go to liquors and mixers. Here are the ones I use.

Jose Cuervo or Herradura Tequila Reposed

Harlequin Orange Liqueur

New Deal Ginger Liqueur

Spindrift Sparkling Water or Q Sparkling Grapefruit
