Start by rimming a highball glass with salt. To do this, run a grapefruit slice around the edge of the glass, then dip it into a small plate covered with a pinch of salt.
Fill the glass with a cup of ice cubes.
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of tequila, 2 ounces of fresh grapefruit juice, 0.5 ounce of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 ounce of sugar-free simple syrup.
Shake the mixture well for about 10 seconds to ensure that all components are fully combined.
Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared highball glass filled with ice.
Top the cocktail with 2 ounces of club soda to add a refreshing fizz.
Gently stir the drink to incorporate the club soda evenly throughout.
Garnish your low-carb Paloma with a fresh grapefruit slice on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy a refreshing, low-carb twist on the classic Paloma cocktail.
