Cocktail

2 oz Patrón Silver Tequila3/4 oz Fresh lime juice4 oz Pink grapefruit soda (chilled)1/4 oz Simple syrup (optional, 1:1)1 tsp Coarse salt or flaked sea salt (for rim)1 piece Fresh lime wedge (for rimming and garnish)1 cup Ice1 slice Grapefruit slice (optional garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare the glass

Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a highball or Collins glass. Pour the coarse salt onto a small plate, then dip the moistened rim into the salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.

Build the cocktail

Fill the prepared glass with ice (about 1 cup). Add 2 oz Patrón Silver Tequila and 0.75 oz fresh lime juice directly over the ice. If you prefer a slightly sweeter Paloma, add 0.25 oz simple syrup.

Add soda and finish

Top with 4 oz chilled pink grapefruit soda. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to combine, taking care not to flatten the soda.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with the lime wedge and optional grapefruit slice on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
