My Paloma Recipe

Aren’t you glad it’s Friday? There’s nothing like kicking off the weekend with a delicious cocktail.

One of my favorite cocktails right now is the Paloma. I have been crazy for pink grapefruit for over a year now. It started with an obsession with Greyhounds made with pink grapefruit juice. Then, I started adding a twist of lime to them.

One night, when I was out with some girlfriends, I had a Blood Orange Paloma. It was dreamy! So, soon after, I bought some tequila and some La Croix grapefruit flavored sparkling water. I sort of fumbled my way through making my own version of a Paloma. It’s not exactly the “classic” recipe, but it’s really delish. It’s light and refreshing.
