Paloma with fresh pink grapefruit and pink himalayan salt rim

Difficulty
Easy

This is a refreshing drink that is easier to make and more refreshing than a margarita. The grapefruit and salt really work together, the tequila flavour just coming through and the soda water making it delightfully sparkling. You can either make it with fresh grapefruit juice and soda or use bottled soda like 3¢ Pink Grapefruit Soda or Jarritos Grapefruit Soda, both are delicious.

Additional details

  • 60ml fresh pink grapefruit juice (approx 1/2 grapefruit)
  • 10ml sugar syrup (100g water 100g sugar, heated until dissolved, then cool)
  • 10ml fresh lime juice (approx 1/2 a lime, reserve the other half of the lime to moisten your glass)

Additional details

    1. Rub the rim of your glass with the remaining lime to moisten.
