Ingredients

  • 2 ounces blanco tequila blanco or reposado
  • 2 ounces fresh grapefruit juice
  • ½ ounce lime juice about 1 tablespoon

  • Lime wedge and kosher salt for rimming glass
  • Ice

  • Add the tequila, grapefruit juice, and lime juice. Stir to combine.
  • Top off with sparkling water and garnish with a lime wedge.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh grapefruit and lime juice. Bottled juices can be used in a pinch, but fresh juice will make a noticeable difference.
  • Adjust to taste: Feel free to adjust the sweetness and tartness of your Paloma. Add some sweetener like agave nectar or simple syrup if you like, or more lime juice for extra tartness.
  • Chill your ingredients: For a truly refreshing drink, make sure all your ingredients are well-chilled before mixing.
