Paloma

Paloma (Mexican Lemonade)

The Paloma is a refreshing and iconic cocktail from Mexico, known for its zesty, fruity, and slightly sweet flavor profile. It’s traditionally made with tequila, grapefruit soda, lime juice, and a touch of sugar or simple syrup, often garnished with a slice of grapefruit and a salt rim. Despite its alcoholic nature, it’s light, crisp, and perfect for warm weather.

Recipe: Classic Paloma Cocktail

Ingredients:
1. 2 oz silver tequila (like Santo or Casa Noble)
2. Juice of 1 large grapefruit
3. Juice of half a lime
4. 1 tbsp agave syrup or simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar, heated until combined)
5. Ice cubes
6. Garnish: Salt (for rimming the glass), grapefruit slice, and optional lime wheel
7. Grapefruit soda (like Jarritos or Squirt), to top off

Instructions:

1. Rim the glass: Moisten the rim of your glass with a lime wedge and dip it into a plate of salt (a mixture of sea salt and Tajín seasoning is traditional).

2. Prepare the mixer: In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, lime juice, and agave/simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.

3. Shake it up: Shake well for about 15-20 seconds to mix and chill the cocktail.

4. Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into your salt-rimmed glass filled with fresh ice. Top off with grapefruit soda, leaving some space at the top of the glass.

5. Garnish: Express a lime wheel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it in as garnish. Add a slice of grapefruit on the side for an extra pop of color and flavor.

6. Enjoy! Stir gently with a straw and slurp up this delightful, fizzy, and slightly tangy Paloma cocktail. Cheers!
