Delicious cocktails from around the world (5): Paloma

Paloma
Mexico

While the margarita is widely consumed across Mexico, the Paloma is the true national drink. But it’s not much different from a margarita.

Based on a recipe developed by Don Julio for 1 cocktail.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces tequila reposado
1 ounce grapefruit juice
1/2 ounce lime juice
1/2 agave nectar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 splash soda water (or grapefruit soda)
Grapefruit peel or lime wedge to garnish

How to make it:
Combine tequila reposado, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and agave nectar into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a glass over ice. Add soda water. Garnish with grapefruit peel or lime wedge.
