Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 6 oz blanco tequila
- 1 ½ oz fresh squeezed lime juice
- 6 oz fresh squeezed ruby red or pink grapefruit juice
- Pinch of salt
- Ice cubes, for serving
- 12 oz Grapefruit soda such as Squirt® or Fresca®
Garnish
- 2 pink or red grapefruit slices
- 2 lime wedges
Instructions
- Rub the rim of a Collins glass or mason jar with a lime wedge, and dip it in a small plate of salt. Add tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice and ice to a shaker. Shake and strain into an ice filled glass.
- Top with the grapefruit soda, a pinch of salt, and gently stir Don Javier style with the knife used to cut the lime.
- Garnish with a grapefruit and lime slices. Taste and adjust. If you prefer a sweeter Paloma, add a pinch of salt right to the glass. Add more lime juice for more of a citrus zing.
