Why We Love this Frozen Paloma
While a Paloma drink exudes coolness all on its own, blending it up makes it the ultimate refreshment on a warm day. In English, the name means peaceful, making it the sweet breeze you crave in the summertime.
Similar to our Frozen Gin and Tonic, we’ve given this classic drink a fun summer twist! The flavor is delicious and it will keep you cool all summer long.
How To Make a Frozen Paloma
This thirst-quenching cocktail will satisfy your tastebuds with very little prep work. One thing we love about this recipe is that you don’t need to make a simple syrup. Just a few tablespoons sugar, sugar alternative or agave will do the trick!
For this Paloma recipe, you will need a blender and these ingredients:
Ingredients for a Frozen Paloma
- Tequila
- Grapefruit Juice
- Lime Juice
- Sugar
- Ice
Directions
Add the ingredients into a blender with ice and blend until smooth.
Pour the cocktail into a lowball glass and garnish with a grapefruit or lime wedge.
Paloma Vs. Margarita
A Paloma is made with grapefruit juice and lime. The citrus stands out from the grapefruit.
The Margarita is made with lime juice and Cointreau or Triple Sec. We have a wonderful skinny margarita recipe that’s perfect if you’re in the mood!
Tequila also contains healthy bacteria called probiotics that aid in gut health. This drink actually helps lower the glucose index in the body and spikes insulin, making it a better choice for diabetics who want to sip on a summery cocktail.
Cool yourself down this summer with a hot choice! You and your guests will love the refreshing flavor and benefits of the frozen Paloma. The spritz of citrus in a slushy drink will delight your senses.
