Easy Paloma Cocktail

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♡
