LA PALOMA COOLER

Less expected than a margarita but just as easy to make, our La Paloma cooler is lively and laid-back at the same time. It gets its light, bubbly flavor from Mexican soda (which is also great on its own) and a platinum tequila. The "drunken lime" floater is a cored-out half lime filled with a shot of reposado tequila.

Categories     beverage

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
Wedges of grapefruit
1 cup freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice
1 cup white tequila, preferably Dosamigos
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar syrup

Steps:

  • Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup salt on a small plate. Run a wedge of grapefruit around the rim of 4 glasses to moisten the rims. Lightly dip the rims in the sugar mixture and set aside to dry.
  • Combine the grapefruit juice, tequila, lime juice, sugar syrup, and a pinch of salt together in a pitcher. Fill a cocktail shaker 1/2 full with ice and pour in the drink mixture. Shake the cocktail shaker for 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink. Pour into the 4 prepared glasses, add a few ice cubes, and a wedge of grapefruit and serve ice cold.
  • To make sugar syrup, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the mixture is clear. Cool and refrigerate indefinitely.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy grapefruits. This will ensure that your Paloma is flavorful and refreshing.
  • Use fresh lime juice. Bottled lime juice can be bitter and will not taste as good as fresh lime juice.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of tequila. There are many different types of tequila available, each with its own unique flavor. Try a few different types to find one that you like best.
  • Make sure your Paloma is cold. A cold Paloma is the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.
  • Garnish your Paloma with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of salt. This will add a finishing touch to your cocktail and make it even more delicious.

Conclusion:

The Paloma is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, tart, and slightly salty flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail, give the Paloma a try. You won't be disappointed!
