Here in Jersey we got beautiful 70 degree weather yesterday🌞 And I got to enjoy this lovely drink! Unfortunately, today is cloudy and a bit chillier, but at least its Friday! And the weekend calls for tasty cocktails, right? You guys know how much I love tequila so I have yet another recipe for you lovelies using my favorite Espolon. Fresh ingredients always! Tequila, lime juice, fresh grapefruit juice, topped with club soda. Sound simple enough? It is friends!
Ingredients
- 2oz Tequila
- 3/4oz Lime Juice
- 1/2 of a Grapefruit
- Club Soda
Recipe
- Fill your shaker with ice.
- Add tequila, lime juice, and 1/2 of a grapefruit squeezed.
- Shake & strain into glass with fresh ice.
- Top with club soda.
Enjoy! A traditional paloma is made with grapefruit juice which has tons of sugar in it. They do make a diet one, but I prefer the fresh ingredients in my cocktails always! Need more grapefruit? Add the other half! You like it more tart? Add more lime! You want it sweet? Put a splash of grapefruit juice in it! You modify it to however you like it, but if grapefruit is your forte, you should really try this one. Perfect for a nice, cool day & a perfect start to the weekend! Cheers😜

Well, first of all, a comment on the weather, which is extraordinary. We’re enjoying the same conditions you are, neighboring state and all. Late last week, a friend told me he heard the weather was supposed to get nasty this weekend. Not even close. Go figure. Usually, “I heard…” rumors are so dependable, huh?
Now, about that Paloma… This weekend’s perfect conditions called for my own – non-alcoholic, of course – celebration, and I made my own version of your creation. Effectively, sparkling water, blood orange juice (near the end of their season – sigh) served over tons of ice. A passably close facsimile of yours. What are the odds?
Still, were I hard-liquor-drinking man, your version wins hands-down, Jaimie!
