There’s something about the Paloma that keeps me coming back. Maybe it’s the salted rim, maybe it’s the bittersweet balance of the grapefruit mixed with the lime and sugar… I don’t know what it is but the Paloma is my favorite cocktail ever. And I don’t even like tequila that much!

What you’ll need: 🍸

• Kosher salt
• 1 grapefruit wedge
• 1/2  cup fresh grapefruit juice
• 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• ¼ cup mescal or tequila reposado
• ¼ cup club soda

 
Method:
First, pour some kosher salt on the plate. Use a lime wedge to rub some juice on the rim and dip the tim of the glass in the salt to make a ring. 

Combine grapefruit juice, lime juice, and sugar in glass; shake vigorously until sugar is dissolved. Stir in mescal, add ice, and top off with club soda. Ta-da you got the Paloma cocktail, the tastiest drink known to woman.
