How to Make The Best Paloma Cocktail. Drink Ingredients and Recipe.
In this video, you will learn how to make the best Paloma cocktail.
You will know which are the ingredients and the recipe for classic Paloma cocktails.
Here's a recipe for a Paloma :
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1/2 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 4 ounces Grapefruit soda, chilled, to top
- Pinch of salt
- Garnish: lime wheel
The Paloma is delicious, refreshing, and much simpler to make than the Margarita. With so few ingredients-tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda-the Paloma is hard to mess up. Margaritas can be transcendent when done right, but when you order one outdoors, you run a greater risk of getting an undersized glass filled with the day's sparkling sour mix and an unbalanced drink. When you're looking for a refreshing cocktail that'll hit all the right notes in less than two shakes, Paloma's three-ingredient highball built right into the glass is a sure thing.
How to make a perfectly balanced Paloma
Palomas are light but also offer a surprisingly complex flavor profile. The simple 3-ingredient formula also contains more variables for differentiation than one might think.
Blanco tequila is the traditional choice, but lightly aged reposado also makes a good drink. It's best to keep the añejo closed for this cocktail, as the oak profile of the old expression spoils the clean, refreshing taste you want in a Paloma.
In Mexico, Jarritos is usually the grapefruit soda of choice for its easy access, high carbonation, and cane sugar-sweetened grapefruit flavor. This brand is relatively easy to find stateside, especially in grocery stores that carry Mexican foods and ingredients. The slightly sweeter Syringa is another common choice in Mexico and is a favorite of bartenders.
Some people may choose to seal the glass with salt, while others add a pinch of salt directly to the drink. This step isn't necessary, but it adds a nice texture that melds nicely with the earthy tequila and tart grapefruit. And it opens up the possibility of using a seasoned salt, like Tajín, for an extra kick of spice.
Because the Paloma is built right into the glass, you don't need any tools to make it. Simply add your ingredients to a glass of ice, give it a quick shake and you're ready to enjoy a refreshing cocktail. Mexico's national cocktail is a great choice any day of the year.
CAN YOU USE FRESH GRIPFRUIT JUICE IN PALOMA INSTEAD OF SODA?
As bartenders continue to embrace fresh juice in their cocktails, it has become increasingly common to use fresh grapefruit juice instead of grapefruit soda. If you want to go that route, you can top off the liquid with unflavored sparkling water to achieve the necessary bubbly effect.
Fair warning, this combination makes for a much drier cocktail, as grapefruit soda can be quite sweet. You can add some simple syrup to mix it up, but then you'll be taking away from the simplicity of this drink. Grapefruit soda is the most traditional choice when making Palomas.
