Paloma

Tequila and grapefruit soda with a squeeze of lime. No shaker needed.

Ingredients

• 2 oz (60 ml) Blanco tequila
• 1/2 oz (15 ml) Fresh lime juice
• 4 oz (120 ml) Grapefruit soda (such as Jarritos or Squirt)
• 1 pinch Salt

Steps

1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
2. Add tequila, lime juice and a pinch of salt.
3. Top with grapefruit soda.
4. Stir gently once and add the wedge.

Make it a mocktail: Virgin Paloma

Leave out the tequila and add another 2 oz (60 ml) grapefruit soda or sparkling water. Keep the lime and salt; they do the work.

Batch for two

For two: build one in each glass, 2 oz (60 ml) tequila apiece. One bottle of grapefruit soda covers both.

Pair it with an at-home date
