Grapefruit and tequila are the perfect combination for a refreshing cocktail that's ready in 5 minutes! Grapefruit Palomas are a great way to start a hot summer evening. They're simple and laid back. It is also a wonderful option for those wanting to mix up their favourite margarita.
For the classic Paloma cocktail, you will only need grapefruit juice (or lime juice), tequila, and a little ice. Use a high-quality blanco tequila. You can also use reposado.
Paloma should have a sweet and tart taste from the grapefruit syrup and juice. You can add a little liqueur to the mix if you like, but I find that grapefruit juice and tequila taste great on their own.
If tequila is not your thing, you can simply replace it with other smoky drinks like mezcal. Or, you can add a little extra sweetener to the tequila and swap out the lime for lemon. You can also add some jalapeos if you are really craving a spicy Paloma.

How to Make a Taquila and Grapefruit Cocktail
For a deliciously refreshing Paloma drink, you will only need 3 ingredients. They are: grapefruit and lime juices, as well as your favorite tequila. You can shake your drinks or just stir them in glasses. You'll need to salt your glasses to make the best Paloma.
It's easy to add a salt rim to your Paloma glass. Rub a little bit of sea salt on the rim of your glass. You can choose between coarse sea-salt or kosher-salt to make a delicate rim.
For a sweeter, yet still refreshing version of the drink, you can sprinkle some agave sugar on your tequila. If you don't want to drink the sweeter version of this cocktail, you can substitute the tequila for a spirit or soda water.
