The Paloma

IMG_3098

The Paloma has to been one of my favorite cocktails, super simple and easy to make the flavors are refreshing and invigorating. You can’t really go wrong when you mix tequila and grapefruit juice together in my book. We all are aware that cocktails can pack not only a punch but a “few” extra calories. That’s why I have made a few minor changes to my Paloma recipe.

Ingredients:

(Serves two )

2 oz Tequila  (Patron) 

1/2cup  Organic Grapefruit Juice

Splash of Soda water

Lime sliced to garnish & salted rim ( optional)

For salt garnish:

( Optional/Not Pictured)

2 tablespoons of sea salt

1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, finely chopped.
