Paloma

April 25, 2018 by Amber 9 Comments

Today we have a classic Paloma recipe made with club soda, silver tequila, grapefruit soda and a pinch of sugar garnished a lime and salt rim.

Tequila is for more than margaritas! The Kiwi Margarita from a couple weeks ago is awesomely delicious but a Paloma is another great tequila drink that is perfect for hot summer days or even for upcoming Cinco de Mayo celebrations.

To make a Paloma, simply add in equal parts of tequila, grapefruit soda and club soda with a just a pinch of sugar into a half salt rimmed glass. Stir ingredients and fill the glass with lots of ice. Garnish with a lime and you can even squeeze a bit of fresh lime into the drink. I always add a bit more grapefruit soda as a personal preference.

Today we have a classic Paloma recipe made with club soda, silver tequila, grapefruit soda and a pinch of sugar garnished a lime and salt rim.

  • 1 part silver tequila
  • 1 part grapefruit soda
  • 1 part club soda or soda water
  • pinch of sugar ( about 1 teaspoon)
  • salt
  • lime slices
  • ice
  1. Rim half the glass with a lime and dip into salt.
  2. Add equal parts tequila, grapefruit soda and club soda. Mix. I personally like just a little extra grapefruit soda in my drink.
  3. Fill glass with ice.
  4. Garnish with lime slice or wedge.

Don’t these Paloma’s have a beautiful color? Let me know in the comments below what your Cinco de Mayo plans are and what you will be drinking!

    I don’t think I’ve ever had a Paloma, but it sounds like a drink I’d like! I might have to make some for Cinco de Mayo!
