    Whether you make a single serve or turn this into a paloma pitcher recipe this refreshing tequila cocktail is perfect for celebrating Spring!

    Paloma recipe

    The Paloma is a light and refreshing grapefruit cocktail similar to a classic Salty Dog, which is made with grapefruit juice and gin or vodka served with a salted rim, also known as a Greyhound when served without the salt. 

    Palomas are made with tequila, similar to a margarita as well. But instead of orange liqueur palomas are typically made with grapefruit soda. This version adds in the flavor of delicious seasonal rhubarb and uses fresh squeezed grapefruit juice instead.

    Ingredients

    • Grapefruit juice – fresh squeezed or substitute pink grapefruit juice.
    • Rhubarb simple syrup – or you can substitute a little fresh smashed rhubarb with sugar.
    • Tequila – tequila blanco, or silver, is the best tequila for making margaritas and palomas.
    • Lime juice – fresh squeezed.
    • Club soda- or substitute sparkling water or grapefruit soda.
    • Coarse salt – to add a salt rim to the glass. You can also add tajin seasoning to the salt or lime or grapefruit zest.
