    Easy Paloma Cocktail

    Published: Jun 8, 2020 · Modified: Nov 24, 2020 by Jenna Urben · This post may contain affiliate links

    The paloma is a light and refreshing tequila-based cocktail. It comes together with tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda.

    I had my first paloma during a cruise stop in Cancun. It was served in a large "yard glass" and I was determined to remake the cocktail when we returned home.

    Luckily, the recipe couldn't be simpler! Just stir everything together in your glass and enjoy!

    Paloma Ingredients

    • Tequila: Use your favorite silver tequila
    • Lime juice: Opt for fresh juice, if possible
    • Grapefruit soda: I love using a can of Squirt

    Most often the paloma is served in a high ball glass, but I opted for our large and sturdy tumblers instead. The salt rim is an optional but tasty addition!

    Want more refreshing drinks? Try these next:

    • Watermelon Agua Fresca
    • French 77 Cocktail
    • Dairy-Free Dole Whip
    • Raspberry Lemonade Slushie
    • Ranch Water Recipe

    I hope you love this quick and easy paloma cocktail as much as we do! It's smooth, light, and refreshing. If you try this recipe, please share a photo with me over on Instagram♡
