How to Make a Paloma with Tequila
This easy Paloma cocktail recipe needs a good tequila. And we recommend always getting SILVER TEQUILA, as gold will overwhelm the flavors in this low calorie cocktail.
I recommend “middle shelf” tequila at a minimum… here are our favorite tequila brands for making Palomas. I’ve also supplied you with a “bottom shelf” tequila I’ve come to love.
The Best Tequila for Paloma Cocktails:
- Patron Silver Tequila (my favorite top shelf tequila)
- Don Julio Silver Tequila (a good middle shelf tequila)
- Piedra Azul Silver Tequila (a fantastic bottom shelf tequila)
How to Make a Paloma Cocktail:
- Pour some kosher salt on a plate. Rub the rim of a highball glass with grapefruit wedge, then dip rim of the glass in salt.
- To the same glass, add the grapefruit juice, lime juice, and zero calorie all-natural simple syrup. Stir until combined.
- Add the tequila, ice, and club soda. Garnish with grapefruit wedge and rosemary sprig.
