My current favorite cocktail to sip on is hands down the Paloma. I am a sucker for anything with fresh grapefruit juice so, my obsession was only natural. A popular cocktail from Mexico, one sip and you will be hooked! It is light and refreshing. Below I have listed my preferred way to sip this delicious cocktail. For a friend's going away party this past weekend I made a large batch of these and brought them to cheers her on her way. I placed the peels directly into the large bottles to infuse the beverage and kept the soda out to add once the drinks had been poured. Quadruple this recipe to make one 750ml bottle.
2oz blanco tequila (I used espolon)
2oz of St. Germaine Elderflower Liquer
3oz fresh grapefruit juice
A splash of soda
A fresh grapefruit peel to garnish
In a cocktail shaker filled half way with ice, combine the tequila, St.Germaine and grapefruit juice. Place the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds.
Pour contents into a cocktail glass with ice. Add a splash of soda on top and a grapefruit peel. Salut!
I will miss you my sweet Corinne! Cheers to you and all your future success in California!
