Equipment
- Knife and cutting board
- Citrus squeezer
- Highball glass or any other glass you like
- Long spoon
- Measuring cup or shot glass
Ingredients
- 2 ounces grapefruit juice freshly squeezed
- 1 ounce lime juice freshly squeezed, about one lime
- 1 ounce basic simple syrup 1:1 sugar-to-water ratio
- 1 bottle Jarritos grapefruit soda or any other grapefruit soda or grapefruit sparkling water
- Ice
- Coarse salt optional for rim
Instructions
- Lightly moisten the edge of a highball glass with a piece of grapefruit. Dip the edge of the glass in coarse salt to rim.
- Add grapefruit and lime juices, and simple syrup to the glass. Stir well with a long spoon to combine.
- Fill the glass with ice and top with grapefruit soda. Add a slice of grapefruit for garnish (optional) and serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra pop of flavor, rim your glass in a 50/50 mixture of coarse salt and either coarse or granulated sugar.
- Kombucha is a really great substitute for grapefruit soda!
- If you're hosting a gathering, or you want to have your Paloma mocktails ready in advance, you can make a larger batch by scaling up the recipe in a pitcher. Just remember to add the soda right before serving to maintain fizziness.
