Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare the glass

Run a lime wedge around the rim of a highball or Collins glass, then dip the rim into a shallow plate of coarse salt to coat about half to three-quarters of the rim. Fill the glass with ice and set aside.

2

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker filled with a few ice cubes, add 2 oz tequila, 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup. (If you prefer a sweeter Paloma or are using tart grapefruit, increase simple syrup to 0.5 oz.)

3

Shake

Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 8–10 seconds until well chilled.

4

Strain and top

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared ice-filled glass. Top with 2 oz club soda (or grapefruit soda for a sweeter, more pronounced grapefruit flavor). Give the drink a gentle stir (1–2 turns) to combine.

5

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a grapefruit wedge or wheel on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
