Paloma drinks can be made with just a few ingredients and are great enjoyed all year round.
What is a Paloma Drink?
A pitcher of Palomas can be the finishing touch to a gorgeous Mexican buffet! Just a splash of tequila and some grapefruit soda is all that’s needed for this traditional drink. While grapefruit soda makes this easy, it’s difficult to find in my area so I make a combination of fresh grapefruit juice and soda for the perfect drink. Palomas are a refreshing way to cap off any day or night!
Ingredients and Variations
TEQUILA Most often a Paloma is made with a Blanco tequila (a white or clear colored tequila) but honestly, any tequila will do just fine. GRAPEFRUIT Paloma’s are basically tequila and grapefruit soda. Rather than a purchased grapefruit soda, I prefer to use grapefruit juice with a little bit of club soda and simple syrup for a bright citrus flavor. GARNISH Salt the rim or pop a sugar cube in each glass for a sweet garnish!
