The combination of grapefruit and tequila makes for an incredibly refreshing cocktail. It's ready within 5 minutes. A Grapefruit Paloma is a simple, laid-back drink that's the perfect way to kick off a hot summer night. It's a great alternative for those who want to try a different margarita.

How to Make Grapefruit Palominos

For the classic Paloma cocktail, you will only need grapefruit juice (or lime juice), tequila, and a little ice. You will want to use good quality blanco Tequila. However, you can substitute it with reposado.

Palomas are best when they have a slight tartness and a sweetness that comes from grapefruit juice. You can add a bit of liqueur, if desired, but the combination of grapefruit with tequila tastes great as is.

If you are not a big fan of tequila you can substitute it with any other smoky liquor. If you prefer, you can substitute the lime for a lemon and add more sweetener. If you're really in the mood for a spicy Paloma, you can drop some jalape To add a little extra kick to your tequila, slice it!

How to Make a Cocktail with Grapefruit and Tequila

You only need three ingredients to make a tasty and refreshing Paloma: grapefruit, lime and tequila of your choice. You can mix your drinks in a shaker or simply stir them together in the glass. If you want the best Paloma ever, you should rim your glasses in salt.


The salt rim will enhance the flavor and overall taste of your Paloma. It is also very easy to do. 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 sprinkle your tequila with a little bit of agave syrup for a sweeter version that's still just as refreshing. If you're not a fan of the sweeter version, you can also make a non-alcoholic Grapefruit Paloma by substituting the tequila with a spirit of your choice or even with soda water.
