After trying a few different fancy grapefruit sodas and different recipes to make these, I settled on fresh grapefruit juice and squirt for the bubbles/sweetness. 2 oz Blanco Tequila 2 oz Grapefruit Juice 3/4 oz Lime Juice Top off with Squirt in a rocks glass that’s rimmed with salt and sugar. Maybe not the best recipe but it works and it’s ingredients that are always available around me.
Same here but i use it now with mezcal! (Ensamble Cenizo and Verde) It goes so well since the taste of the fever tree is kinda stronger in grapefruit compared too other grapefruit sodas. Matches to the smoke of mezcal, really tasty!
@Lui_Fern how would you go about improving the drink using grapefruit soda and not using fresh squeezed grapefruit juice? I don't make this enough to make it worth buying an entire grapefruit, but I have Fever Tree grapefruit soda in the small bottles perfect for using 1 bottle per highball.
Honestly, that’s how I usually make mine, but I had an idea while watching this, which is just my standard (1.5-2 oz tequila, .5 lime, top with fever tree), but adding the aperol sounds so good too lol
@@Lui_Fern I lived through my 20s and 30s hating tequila because of an unfortunate incident during my formative teen years. As a man in his 40s I'm finally getting to experience tequila and other Mezcals. When I see your videos I think "I would love to experience having some drinks with this dude". I feel like you would be able to explain the flavor complexities and the different crafting processes and stuff. I'm always a huge fan of learning about how things are made and the different nuances that bring out different flavors. Keep up the good work with your videos, brother.
@@justincowan7486 thank you so much my friend! And funnily enough i had a similar experience. I used to drink shit tequila in college and then it wasn't until a couple of years after i became a bartender that i started to appreciate Tequila & Mezcal. But I'm happy you think I'd be someone fun to drink with 😁
I start with the 3rd option. Then after 4 of them, i work my way to the number 1 option. Lol
Bet💀
The other night I had Don Julio and squirt. It was like wiping my ass with silk.

Sounds lovely!
I personally love making it with the Fever Tree grapefruit soda
Everything fever tree makes is incredible

I always felt like fever tree is over the top. Especially their ginger beer. I like dry, but theirs is extra

That's cool and all but that og always hits🤤
Fabulous cocktails!! I love all of these beauties!! Cheers Lui!! :-)
Cheers Christine! Happy you liked them 😁🙏
@@Lui_Fern I do!! Have a great weekend Lui!! 🙂
Mmmm Paloma, one of my favorites!
The aperol is smart, wouldn’t of thought of that
Thanks friend! It goes very well with the other ingredients
What about a smoky Paloma, using mezcal instead of tequila. That’s my favorite
Always a winner in my opinion!
I think you add salt to the original as well. At least that's how they're served in Mexico. All great recipes!
Thank you sir, that last 1 was very good 😋
Happy you enjoyed that one 😁😁🙏
@Lui_Fern pink salt with sugar on the rim might make it even more appealing at the bar.
@@clovertx901 oh! Sold idea!
I’ll take the second one! 😍😋
Yes! So good
How would you make option 3 in a 6 gal water cooler?
I use fresh grapefruit juice AND grapefruit soda.
Sounds great!
Yo! Those all look really good.
Thanks friend! 😁

I make mine with fresh squeezed orange juice, lime juice, Mexican Squirt, and tequila, of course.
What if you prefer it with out w big ass ice cube? You recommend cooling the mezcal?
no tajin rim? come on man
Your aggressive pours tell the tale of a man who has overcome much strife in his life.
😁😁🙏 just been in the service industry for a very long time
I wish the description had the measurements.
In Mexico they’ don’t just use just squirt look up cantaritos you’ll see how fresh they make palomas in big clay cups
you don't actually need the aperol, it's actually fresher and quite bitter if you express the peel instead
Instead of using simple syrup of you make a grapefruit oleo saccharum it’s even better
A restaurant that I live by sells a paloma for $22, and I find that to be ridiculous 😅
How about a riff with some mezcal?
I like the og, why make it more complicated? Why make it bitter, bitter is bad.
I also do it with Ice sugar free grapefruit soda.
My name is Paloma lol❤😂😊
#2 almost, tequila, lime, salt, squirt, club soda or mineral water💣💣
Number 2 is the best except i use a really high quality grapefruit soda, not that squirt stuff that looks like nuclear waste
The aperol was a good touch very underrated
