A Fun Fizzy Paloma Cocktail
The Paloma originated in Mexico, and in my humble opinion, it blows the margarita away. Don't get me wrong, I love a good margarita, but it's doesn't have that refreshing quality that shines through in this Paloma.
There are several ways to make this cocktail. I prefer to use fresh squeezed grapefruit and lime juice because the freshness and zing really make the cocktail pop. Many recipes utilize grapefruit soda (jarrito's or squirt), but trust me, use freshly squeezed juice just once, and you'll never go back. It's cocktail heaven.
Since I opted for fresh squeezed, I incorporated a bit of simple syrup to sweeten the recipe. Another perk of fresh squeezed is that I can control the sweetness and sugar content which is always a plus. Sodas are too syrupy sweet for this girl.
