Paloma

Instructions

1. Optionally rim the glass with salt.

3. Fill with ice and stir to combine.
4. Top with soda water.
5. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge.

Notes

The Paloma is far more popular than the Margarita in Mexico. Often made with grapefruit soda (like Jarritos or Squirt), this fresh juice version is brighter and more balanced. It is a perfect warm-weather drink that showcases tequila's vegetal, citrusy character.
