Paloma
0.5
Small, round, green citrus fruits. Commonly used in many cocktails for its rind or its acidic taste (6% acid total; 4% citric, 2% malic, some succinic acid).
0.5 oz
A juice used in some cocktails for its tart and acidic properties. Grapefruit juice can be pre-squeezed and kept fresh for many days like orange juice, unlike lemon and lime juice.
2 oz
Blanco, white spirit, white, plata or silver tequila refers to a young, unaged tequila.
0.5 oz
A syrup made from dissolving granulated sugar (sucrose) in water. Regular simple is made by combining 1:1 sugar:water by mass, rich simple is 2:1 sugar:water by mass although only 1.5 times as sweet as regular. We always use 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.
4 oz
A grapefruit flavored carbonated soda. Famously used in the Paloma cocktail and usually in Paloma riffs.
1 wheel
Small, round, green citrus fruits. Commonly used in many cocktails for its rind or its acidic taste (6% acid total; 4% citric, 2% malic, some succinic acid).
Rim a highball with kosher salt and set aside. Squeeze the lime into a shaker and drop the shell in. Add the tequila, grapefruit juice, and simple syrup and short shake with 3 ice cubes. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice cubes and top with grapefruit soda. Garnish with the lime wheel and serve with a straw. #shake #ontherocks
