Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila
- 1 oz Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 4 oz Grapefruit soda (such as Jarritos or Fresca)
- 1 tbsp Coarse salt
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Grapefruit wedge
- 1 piece Lime wedge
Instructions
Begin by lightly wetting the rim of a cocktail glass using a lime wedge.
Spread the coarse salt evenly on a small plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the salt to coat it evenly, then set the glass aside.
Fill the glass about halfway with ice cubes to chill it.
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila and 1 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Shake well until the ingredients are mixed and chilled, about 10-15 seconds.
Strain the tequila-lime mixture into the prepared glass over the ice cubes.
Top up the glass with 4 oz of grapefruit soda, pouring gently to maintain the fizz.
Stir the drink lightly to combine the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
Garnish the drink with a grapefruit wedge and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Paloma Cooler!
