Paloma
A Paloma is a popular cocktail in Mexico made with grapefruit flavored soda, tequila and lime. It's a delicious alternative to a skinny margarita that is full of flavor yet low calorie!

Notes
Recipe Tips and Variations
Optional:
salt rim
of a highball glass by rimming it with grapefruit or lime juice. Then dip the rim into margarita or kosher salt.
Personally, I prefer my palomas
without salt on the rim
of the glass – unlike margaritas. It’s just a personal preference!
Garnish
with grapefruit wedge or lime wedge if you prefer.
Want it a little less sweet?
Add a little club soda
