Paloma

The Paloma is Mexico's most popular tequila cocktail — more beloved in its home country than the Margarita. This is a fresh-juice version rather than the Squirt-soda original. Blanco tequila, fresh grapefruit juice, a touch of lime, a pinch of salt, and a splash of soda over ice. The salt does incredible things here — it suppresses bitterness in the grapefruit and amplifies the sweet-tart balance. A Tajín salt rim is a fantastic upgrade.
