(Paloma)
Category: Mixed Alcoholic Drinks and Cocktails
Paloma is a popular drink in Guadalajara and the surrounding area, known for the distilling of tequila from blue agave. My husband and I, and friends we traveled with, tasted our first Paloma at Herradura's tequila distillery in Amatitan, a village near the town of Tequila. This simple tequila and grapefruit drink is popular in Jalisco and along the Pacific Coast. We were very fortunate to be invited to the historical and highly esteemed distillery for a private tour, tequila tasting, and lunch. We enjoyed our comida outdoors in a beautiful courtyard, and sipped this refreshing drink.
1/2 fresh lime
Salt, to rim the glass
Ice cubes
2 ounces tequila (100% blue agave reposado preferred)
1 (12-ounce) can or bottle grapefruit soda pop
2 fresh grapefruit wedges
2 sprigs fresh mint leaves
Moisten the top of a tall (about 10 or 12 ounce) glass with lime juice and dip in a saucer of salt to rim the glass. Fill the glass half full of ice cubes. Pour in the tequila and grapefruit soda. Stir. Place a grapefruit wedge on the glass rim and garnish with a sprig of mint. Serve cold.
