The combination of grapefruit and tequila makes for an incredibly refreshing cocktail. It's ready within 5 minutes. Grapefruit Palomas are the perfect drink to kick-start a hot, summer's night. It is also a wonderful option for those wanting to mix up their favourite margarita.
To make a classic Paloma you only need three things: grapefruit and lime juices, as well as tequila. You should use a quality blanco, but you may also choose to substitute reposado.
A great Paloma will have a slightly tart flavor and a subtle sweetness from the grapefruit juice and simple syrup. You can add a bit of liqueur, if desired, but the combination of grapefruit with tequila tastes great as is.
You can replace tequila with mezcal, or any other smoky spirits if you don't like it. Or, you can add a little extra sweetener to the tequila and swap out the lime for lemon. If you like a spicy Paloma then you can add some Jalapeos.
To add a little extra kick to your tequila, slice it!

How to Make a Tequila Grapefruit Cocktail
Three simple ingredients are all you need to create a refreshing and delicious Paloma. These include grapefruit juice or lime juice, and your favorite tequila. Mix your drinks together in a shaker, or stir them in the glass. You'll need to salt your glasses to make the best Paloma.
It's easy to add a salt rim to your Paloma glass. Rub a small amount of sea salt around the rim of the glass. You can either use coarse sea or kosher for a more delicate rim.
You can also use a small amount of agave for a sweeter and still equally refreshing version. If you don't want to drink the sweeter version of this cocktail, you can substitute the tequila for a spirit or soda water.

How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. The chilled glass is preferred. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
Although you can use any type or alcohol, it is better to use 100%-grain alcohol such as Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Stir vigorously until combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
