Paloma
Prep time:
The drink Mexicans actually order, far more than the Margarita. Tequila, grapefruit and salt: refreshing, light and hard to stop at one.
Ingredients
- 50 ml blanco tequila, 100% agave
- 15 ml lime juice
- 100 ml fresh grapefruit juice
- Soda water to top
- A pinch of salt
- Ice
Preparation
- Moisten the rim with lime and dip it in salt, coating only the outer half.
- Add the tequila, lime juice, grapefruit juice and the pinch of salt. Stir.
- Fill with ice and top with soda water.
