Here is one of my favorite Mexican tequila cocktails, the Paloma. It is traditionally made with grapefruit soda, Squirt! But this version uses fresh grapefruit juice which I like because it cuts through the flavor of the tequila. It is a great recipe to increase to make a pitcher of Paloma for a party. You can combine all the ingredients, cover and refrigerate until chilled about 2 hours.
Use the grapefruit and lime to to crust the rim of a glass as described in the recipe below.
2 oz of Blanco Tequila
2 oz. fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
1 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz. triple sec
1/2 oz. agave nectar
Sal de Margarita sea salt
TIP: Take the grapefruit and lime out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature.
Pour in the tequila, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, lime juice, triple sec and agave nectar into a pitcher and stir. Pour into a Sal de Margarita rimmed glass with iceand garnish with a slice of grapefruit.
