CLASSIC PALOMA
By Contributor
Nothing says summer like a light and refreshing paloma—a classic cocktail made with just the right of tequila, lime, and fresh grapefruit juice. Spanish for the word “peace,” the paloma has been the drink of choice in Mexico for generations, often surpassing the margarita in popularity. Our recipe is made with Eleven20 Tequila, a premium brand that uses only blue agave sourced from producers in the region. Founded by a husband-and-wife team, this award-winning tequila has become recognized as an innovator of flavor and aromas, with its signature blend being celebrated by mixologists and connoisseurs alike. Squeeze a grapefruit, add some lime juice, and you’ve got vacation in a glass.
- 2 oz. Eleven20 Tequila
- 1 oz. grapefruit juice
- 1/2 oz. lime juice
- 1/2 oz. simple syrup
- Club soda
Combine 2 oz. Eleven20 Tequila, 1 oz. grapefruit juice, 1/2 oz. lime juice, and 1/2 oz. simple syrup in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a glass filled with ice. Top with club soda and garnish with a grapefruit wedge.
