Paloma Cocktail
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • Grapefruit Base:
  • ¾ cup (6 ounces) freshly squeezed grapefruit juice (~ 1 grapefruit)
  • 2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (~ 2 limes)
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  • Seltzer water
  • For One Cocktail:
  • 2 ounces of grapefruit mixture
  • 2 ounces of tequila (preferably blanco)
  • Seltzer water
  • Garnish: grapefruit slice
Instructions
  1. Mix grapefruit juice, lime juice and agave nectar in a small pitcher or measuring cup. Add more agave nectar if desired. Can be made a few hours in advance and refrigerated.
  2. For each cocktail, fill a highball glass with ice. Add grapefruit mixture, tequila and top off with seltzer water. Stir. Garnish with a grapefruit slice.
Notes
* If you don't have agave syrup, I'd recommend substituting honey. You may need a bit more as it's not as sweet as agave nectar.
* Only making 2 cocktails? Make the recipe for 4 cocktails and freeze half in a small ziplock bag for the a future treat.
* Double or triple the cocktail base for a party. Add tequila and seltzer to glass when serving.
