Classic Paloma Cocktail - Drink Recipe

tequila

💰Cheaper: mezcal

Mezcal offers a smoky flavor profile similar to tequila.

grapefruit soda

🥗Healthier: sparkling water + grapefruit juice

💰Cheaper: lemon-lime soda

Sparkling water + juice reduces sugar while lemon-lime soda is more affordable.

simple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Agave syrup is a natural sweetener while honey is often cheaper.

Get yourself a plate of Tajin chili lime seasoning.

Run a lime wedge along the rim of your highball glass.

Dip your glass into the Tajin and cover it generously with the delicious salty goodness.

Fill the glass with ice.

Add the fresh lime juice, silver tequila, and grapefruit soda to the glass.

Stir for a few seconds, just enough to mix it.

Garnish with a lime wheel.
