Ingredients
- 100ml/3陆fl oz tequila
- 1 tbsp agave syrup
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 75ml/2陆fl oz grapefruit juice (red or pink)
- 200ml/7fl oz sparkling water
- ice cubes
To garnish
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- 2 grapefruit wedges
- 2 sprigs rosemary (optional)
Method
Pour the tequila, agave, lime juice and grapefruit juice into a cocktail shaker. Add a large handful of ice and shake until the shaker feels really cold.
Rub the grapefruit wedges around the rim of 2 tall glasses then dip into the salt so it sticks.
Fill your prepared glasses with ice cubes then pour over the cocktail and divide the sparkling water between them. Stir gently to combine and garnish with the grapefruit wedges and a sprig of rosemary, if you like.
Recipe Tips
The paloma can also be made using a grapefruit flavoured sparkling soft drink. Just use 275ml to top up at the end.
