Paloma Fresca

Ingredients

  • 60 ml Tequila blanco
  • 60 ml Fresh grapefruit juice
  • 15 ml Lime juice
  • 10 ml Sugar syrup
  • 60 ml Soda water
  • Garnish Grapefruit wedge

Preparation

  1. Rim the highball with salt. Don't know how? Moisten the rim with a citrus wedge, then dip it in a plate of salt.
  2. Shake tequila, juices and syrup with ice.
  3. Strain into a highball over ice. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
  4. Top with soda.
  5. Garnish with grapefruit wedge. A wedge is a thick, lengthwise slice — usually a quarter or eighth of the fruit.
