Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz (60 ml) Tequila Blanco (100% agave)
- 3 oz (90 ml) Fresh Grapefruit Juice
- 0.5 oz (15 ml) Fresh Lime Juice
- 0.5 oz (15 ml) Agave Nectar or Simple Syrup
- 2 oz (60 ml) Club Soda or Sparkling Water
- 1.5 cups (350 g) Ice (crushed preferred)
- Salt for rimming glass (optional)
- Grapefruit wedge or sprig of rosemary for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your glass: Rub a lime wedge around the rim and dip into salt to coat evenly. Set aside.
- Juice the grapefruit and lime to get about 3 oz grapefruit juice and 0.5 oz lime juice. Strain if desired.
- Add tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, agave nectar or simple syrup, and ice into a blender.
- Pulse blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and slushy. Add a splash of club soda or water if too thick.
- Pour the frozen mixture into the prepared glass, leaving room at the top.
- Top with 2 oz club soda or sparkling water for fizz.
- Garnish with a grapefruit wedge or rosemary sprig if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh citrus juice for best flavor. Pulse blend to maintain slushy texture. Chill tequila before mixing for colder drink. Adjust sweetness or tartness to taste. Salt rim optional but recommended for authentic Paloma experience. If blender struggles, crush ice separately or let ice soften slightly.
