Effortlessly make a refreshing Paloma cocktail with grapefruit soda, tequila, and lime for your next BBQ or summer party.
Ingredients:
  • 1 chilled bottle grapefruit soda, such as Squirt
  • 1 1/2 to 2 ounces blanco tequila (or mezcal)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice, depending on sweetness of soda
  • 2 tablespoons crunchy salt and 1 lime wedge, for rimming (optional)
  • 1 lime wedge, for garnish (optional)
  • For the spicy rimming variation:
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne or 1 tablespoon Tajín
Instructions:
  • To add a tasty rim, sprinkle salt onto a small plate. For a spicy kick, blend 1/4 teaspoon cayenne or 1 tablespoon Tajín with the salt. Run a lime wedge along the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into the salt.
  • Fill a glass with ice and pour in grapefruit soda to fill one-third of the way up. Allow the bubbles to settle, then add tequila and lime juice before topping off with more grapefruit soda.
  • Gently stir the drink, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve immediately with extra grapefruit soda on the side. Optionally, squeeze the lime wedge into the drink for added flavor.
