Ingredients
- coarse salt or Tajin
- 4 ounces reposado tequila
- 1 cup fresh grapefruit juice or bottled
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 ounce agave nectar optional
- club soda
- grapefruit & lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Rub a wedge of lime around the rim of the glass and the dip the outside of the rim of the glass in coarse salt or Tajin.
- To a cocktail shaker add the tequila, grapefruit juice, and lime juice. If you like a sweet paloma feel free to add agave nectar.
- Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well; strain into two ice-filled rocks glasses. Top with club soda. Garnish with grapefruit and lime slices.
Notes
- Fresh grapefruit juice delivers the brightest, most refreshing flavor, but bottled grapefruit juice can be used in a pinch.
- Grapefruits vary in sweetness. Taste before serving and add agave nectar only if needed.
- For the best flavor, use a quality 100% agave reposado tequila. The aging process adds smooth notes of vanilla and caramel that pair beautifully with citrus.
- Chill the grapefruit juice, tequila, and club soda before mixing to keep the cocktail cold without excessive dilution from melting ice.
- Add the club soda just before serving to keep the bubbles lively and refreshing.
- For a crowd, mix the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and agave in a pitcher ahead of time. Add club soda to each glass just before serving.
- Carbohydrate content will vary depending on whether agave nectar is added.
