Paloma Cocktail Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup salt on a small plate. Run a wedge of grapefruit around the rim of 4 glasses to moisten the rims. Lightly dip the rims in the sugar mixture and set aside to dry.
• Combine the grapefruit juice, tequila, lime juice, sugar syrup, and a pinch of salt together in a pitcher. Fill a cocktail shaker 1/2 full with ice and pour in the drink mixture. Shake the cocktail shaker for 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink. Pour into the 4 prepared glasses, add a few ice cubes, and a wedge of grapefruit and serve ice cold.
• To make sugar syrup, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the mixture is clear. Cool and refrigerate indefinitely.

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice and agave syrup. Attach the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Fill a glass with ice and strain the cocktail over the ice. Top with seltzer and garnish with the lime wedge.

Steps:

• Fill a highball glass two-thirds full with ice. Slowly pour in about 2 oz. grapefruit soda, filling glass about one-third full. Add 1½ oz. blanco tequila, ½ oz. lime juice, ¼ oz. grapefruit juice, and a pinch of kosher salt. Top with remaining grapefruit soda, stir gently, and garnish with a grapefruit wedge or slice.
