Tequila Paloma
Last month my mom threw me a Fiesta themed graduation party. Naturally, all of my friends decided that the perfect gift for a Fiesta themed party was a bottle of good tequila. Needless to say, I currently have an abundance of tequila lying around my house.
Unfortunately, I'm not too big on liquor. Beer, yes! Wine, YES! Liquor, not so much. Basically, I'm a wimp. Just the thought of a tequila shot makes me want to throw up.
So, the only way this tequila will get consumed is if it's masked behind a deliciously fruity, girly drink. And don't get me wrong; This is really good tequila. But like I said, I'm a wimp.
What better way to use this tequila than with a Paloma. It's my favorite tequila drink next to a frozen margarita.
I make this drink pretty simple. There are equal parts Tequila, grapefruit juice, and club soda with a good splash of lime juice and a bit of sugar to sweeten things up. Oh, and of course some fresh fruit. But, not too much ice. I don't like lots of ice in my drinks.
Paloma
Ingredients (makes one tall glass):
1/2 cup Tequila
1/2 cup grapefruit juice (the pure, fresh kind. Not the juice cocktail, unless that's what you prefer)
1/2 cup club soda
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar or agave nectar
Salt or sugar for rim
Directions:
1) Fill a plate with sugar (or salt if you prefer). After wetting the rim of your glass, dip it in the sugar/ salt.
2) Mix all of the ingredients in your cup continuing to stir until the sugar has dissolved into the drink.
3) Add ice.
4) Garnish with fruit.
5) ENJOY!
What's your favorite tequila drink?
