We’re showing you how to make a Paloma cocktail! A Paloma is a traditional drink in Mexico with the main ingredients being grapefruit and of course, tequila!
Although it’s not exactly known when the Paloma was created, it’s speculated that refreshing summery drink is from the 1800’s! It’s so easy to make and refreshing. I love shaking it with ice so it’s gold and frothy when served.
How to Make a Paloma
There are a few ways to make a classic Paloma recipe, but our favorite way is using a little grapefruit soda and grapefruit juice, along with lime and tequila. And we couldn’t resist adding a little charm, so we garnished our Paloma with a flower!
You can also add a dash of mezcal in a Paloma to give it a smoky flavor.
Also, rim the glass with a little sugar or salt if you prefer! Here’s a guide to rimming a cocktail glass.
