Palomas Recipes

Steps:

• In a highball glass filled with ice, combine salt, tequila and lime juice. Top with soda. Garnish with lime.

Steps:

• Combine the pink salt, cayenne and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl, then place in a shallow dish to rim the glasses.
• Juice the grapefruits with a citrus reamer or with the wide holes on a juicer to obtain plenty of pulp but strain out the seeds. (You need 12 to 14 ounces.) Add to a small pitcher.
• Put the jalapeno slices in a cocktail shaker along with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar and muddle to break the peppers down into a rough mash. Add the tequila and a scoop of ice and shake to infuse; then pour through a strainer into the grapefruit juice and stir to combine.
• Slice the lime into 6 wheels and make a slice halfway into each wheel to hang on each glass. Run the lime along half of the rim of each glass and dip in the pink salt mixture, then garnish with the lime slice. Fill the glasses with ice and divide the Palomas over the top.

Steps:

• Combine the tequila, lime juice, and salt in a tall glass. Add ice, top off with diet grapefruit soda, and stir.

Steps:

• Dip the rim of a highball glass in a bowl of water, shake off the excess, then sprinkle a spoonful of salt onto a plate or saucer and dip the glass into that to coat the rim.
• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add all the remaining ingredients minus the soda water. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels cold, then strain into your prepared glass. Add a few fresh ice cubes and top with soda water to serve. Garnish with the wedge of grapefruit.
