Description
The sparkling Paloma cocktail is a delightful variation on a classic margarita - tart, sweet, and with just the right balance of fruity flavors. This refined sugar-free version uses monk fruit and lime juice to add a hint of sweetness, while fresh grapefruit juice adds a kick.
Ingredients
Himalayan rock salt, fine
1 large lime, cut into wedges
Ice
6 oz. fresh pink grapefruit juice
3 oz. blanco tequila
1 T. fresh lime juice
Club soda
Garnish: Lime wheels and/or twisted grapefruit peel
Optional: Lightly sweeten each drink with 1-2 teaspoons of powdered monkfruit simple syrup (see Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri or Frozen Pina Colada recipes for instructions) or agave syrup, if desired.
Instructions
-
Pour the Himalayan salt onto a shallow dish. Wipe the rim of each glass with a wedge of lime and place the wet edge into the salt to line the rim. For best results, rotate and firmly press the rim into the salt several times.
-
Fill each glass with ice. Divide the grapefruit juice, tequila, and lime juice between the two glasses and give the mixture a quick stir to combine.
-
To serve, top off each glass with some club soda and garnish with a lime wheel and/or a piece of grapefruit rind. Enjoy!
