Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Jalapeño
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds for less heat, or keep them if you prefer a spicier drink.
- 2
Juice the Grapefruit
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, lime juice, and agave syrup. Stir well to combine.
- 3
Infuse with Jalapeño
Add the sliced jalapeño to the pitcher and let it infuse for at least 15 minutes. The longer it sits, the spicier the drink will become.
- 4
Strain the Mixture
After infusing, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the jalapeño slices, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible.
- 5
Combine with Tequila
Pour the strained mixture back into the pitcher and add the tequila. Stir well to combine.

Prepare Glasses
Rub the rim of each glass with a lime wedge and dip into salt to coat the rim.

Serve
Fill each glass with ice cubes, pour the spicy paloma mixture over the ice, and top with sparkling water. Garnish with grapefruit slices and lime wedges.
