Paloma Cocktail (serves 1)
The basic ingredients are –surprise!—tequila and grapefruit—totally Delicious.
Ingredients
For the Syrup
100g white sugar
100ml water
For the cocktail
1 slice lime
30ml sea salt
50ml Blanco tequila
25ml grapefruit juice
25ml syrup
200ml grapefruit tonic
8-10 large ice cubes
Grapefruit slices for garnishing
Method
- For the syrup: bring the sugar and water to a simmer in a small pot over medium–high heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and allow to cool completely before using.
- For the cocktail: rub half the outer rim of a cocktail glass with a slice of lime and dip the glass in the sea salt. In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, grapefruit juice and syrup. Add the ice cubes and shake for about 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker gets cold and frosty. Strain into the glass, top up with grapefruit tonic and garnish with a grapefruit slice or two.
