Love a paloma and it’s simplicity. This recipe uses a couple special ingredients to amplify the depth of the grapefruit flavor — including two of my favorite new finds — Giffard Pamplemousse liqueur and Fever-Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit.
Ingredients:
2 oz. tequila
.75 oz. Giffard Pamplemousse
.5 oz. fresh lime juice
.5 oz. grapefruit juice
.25 simple syrup
3 dashes grapefruit bitters (optional)
2 oz. Fever-Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit
Instructions:
Place tequila, Pamplemousse, lime juice, grapefruit juice, simple syrup and bitters in a shaker with ice and shake.
Strain into a rocks glass over ice.
Top with the sparkling grapefruit.
NOTE: If you don’t want to buy the Pamplemousse…lame :)…but you can leave it out and add another half an ounce of the Sparkling Grapefruit. BUT, the liqueur adds so much more depth of flavor.
