Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Run the grapefruit wedge or lime wedge around the rim of a collins or highball glass to moisten. Spread the kosher or coarse salt on a small plate and dip the rim into the salt to create an even salted rim. Fill the glass about three-quarters full with ice and set aside.

2

Build the cocktail

In a cocktail shaker (or mixing glass) filled with a handful of ice, add 2 oz blanco tequila, 3 oz freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup or agave. Shake vigorously for about 10 seconds until well chilled.

3

Strain and top

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. Top with 2 oz club soda (or grapefruit soda if you prefer a sweeter, fizzier Paloma). Give the drink a gentle stir once to combine.

4

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a grapefruit wedge or slice and a lime wheel or wedge. Optionally squeeze the garnish over the drink for extra aroma. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.

Notes

Adjust sweetness by varying the simple syrup/agave between 0 to 0.75 oz. For a bigger batch, maintain the proportions: per serving = 2 oz tequila : 3 oz grapefruit juice : 0.5 oz lime : 0.5 oz syrup : 2 oz soda.
