The BEST Paloma Cocktail Recipe (From a Former Bartender)

Ingredients

  1. 2 oz tequila blanco (or reposado)
  2. 2½ oz grapefruit soda (Jarritos or Squirt)
  3. 2 key limes (rinsed and cut in half)
  4. ¼ tsp Himalayan salt
  5. Tajin (or salt (optional for rim))
  6. 20 oz tequila blanco (2½ cups)
  7. 25 oz grapefruit soda (about 3 cups)
  8. 20 key limes (rinsed and cut in half)
  9. 2½ tsp Himalayan salt

Instructions

  2. Combine key limes and Himalayan salt in a cocktail shaker or mason jar.
  3. Muddle until juices are released and salt is dissolved.
  4. Add tequila, ice, then shake vigorously for 5 seconds.
  5. Add fresh ice to your prepared glass, then strain the mixture over the fresh ice.
  6. Top with grapefruit soda, stir, and add a lime wheel or wedge for garnish (optional).
