Paloma

Recipe adapted from Bon Appetit
Servings: 1

Ingredients 

  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces) fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces) tequila
  • Ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces) club soda or Fresca, more if you like
  • 1 grapefruit wedge, as a garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Combine the grapefruit juice, lime juice, and sugar in a glass; stir until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the tequila, add a few ice cubes, and top it off with club soda. I like Topo Chico for an intensely carbonated but light taste, or Fresca grapefruit soda when I'm wanting something milder and sweeter.
  • Garnish the drink with a grapefruit wedge if you want to be fancy. If you want to be extra fancy and have a salted rim on your drink, before you begin you can rub the wedge around the rim of your glass and dip it in kosher salt.
