  • glassware - lowball, or your choice
  • spoon or stirrer - long handled
  • citrus juicer - large

INGREDIENTS
 
 

  • 2 ounce non alcoholic tequila - I use Lyre's Agave Blanco Spirit (more recommendations below)*
  • 2 ounces grapefruit juice - freshly squeezed, or 100% juice
  • ½ ounce lime juice - freshly squeezed, or 100% juice
  • ½ ounce light agave syrup - simple syrup, maple syrup, or honey
  • 2 ounces club soda - tonic water, mineral water, or sparkling water of complimenting flavor
  • garnish - optional - grapefruit slice, lime slice, flaky sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Rub the rim of a lowball glass with a lime wedge and immediately dip it in a small plate of flaky sea salt.
    Step 1. Dipping the rim of a glass into lime juice and then salt.

    Step 2. To a glass add non alcoholic tequila, lime juice, light agave syrup, and ice.

  • Garnish with a grapefruit and lime slice. Serve!

RECIPE NOTES

  • Omit the Non Alcoholic Tequila if you do not have it or do not want to use it. I recommend adding a little more lime juice in it's place.
  • This paloma tastes great with a jalapeno kick. Add Jalapeno Simple Syrup in place of the agave or add a few slices of jalapeno to the grapefruit juice 15 minutes before making your paloma.
 

NON ALCOHOLIC TEQUILA OPTIONS

  • Lyre’s Agave Blanco Spirit. A light and bright option with citrus, agave, and a peppery finish. It’s only 3 calories per serving, vegan, and allergen free.
  • Free Spirit’s Tequila. Smoky with notes of agave and dark oak. It has vitamins B3 and B6 for energy, is gluten free, and 10 calories per serving.
  • Rital Zero Proof Tequila Alternative. This one is balance of the two above. It is citrusy, smokey with a peppery finish. It is 0 calories and the least expensive.
