The Paloma is the national drink of Mexico. Many traditional recipes feature a blend of blanco tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit-flavored soda. This refined sugar-free version replaces the grapefruit soda with fresh pink grapefruit juice and club soda. If desired, a little powdered monkfruit simple syrup or agave syrup can be added to sweeten.
Palomas are commonly served in highball glasses. If none are available, whiskey glasses, stemless wine glasses, or other forms of glassware can be used.
Tip: One large pink grapefruit should yield approximately 6 oz. of juice if using a manual juicer.
