A tall, bright tequila highball with grapefruit, agave and soda.
The Paloma is one of the most refreshing tequila cocktails around. It is lighter than a Margarita, easy to drink, and perfect when you want something citrusy, bubbly and a little salty.
Paloma
Tequila, grapefruit, lime, agave and soda.
Glassware
Collins glass or tall glass with a salt rim.
Garnish
Grapefruit wedge.
Ingredients
50ml Tequila
20ml Lime Cocktail Juice
15ml Agave Syrup
90ml Grapefruit Soda
Recipe
Prepare your glass and garnish first.
Moisten the outside edge of the glass with a grapefruit wedge, then gently roll that section through salt.
Fill the glass with fresh ice.
Add the tequila, Lime Cocktail Juice and Agave Syrup to a shaker with ice.
Shake hard until chilled.
Fine strain into the prepared glass.
Top with grapefruit soda.
Gently stir to combine.
Garnish with a grapefruit wedge.
Notes
Use a good-quality grapefruit soda where possible.
For a drier, sharper Paloma, reduce the Agave Syrup to 10ml.
For a softer, fruitier version, build with 60ml fresh grapefruit juice and 60ml soda water instead of grapefruit soda.
