Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a glass and moisten the rim with lime juice. Dip the rim into salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Jalapeños

    In a shaker, add the fresh jalapeño slices. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the jalapeños to release their juices and flavor.

  3. 3

    Combine the Ingredients

    Add the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice into the shaker with the muddled jalapeños. Fill the shaker with ice.

  4. 4

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Top it off with the Squirt (grapefruit soda) and give it a gentle stir.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a slice of jalapeño or a lime wedge on the rim of the glass, if desired.

  7. 7

    Enjoy

    Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Paloma!
