I spent a couple cocktail hours making palomas a few different ways…I can confidently tell you, this is THE ONE! Turns out, skip the fresh grapefruit juice, grapefruit soda is where it’s at! This recipe is based on the ingredients used at Hotel Madrid in Milwaukee. Good luck not making it a double header, even at brunch. Been there, done that! The two keys here are the grapefruit soda and the Tajin seasoned rim. You can find both of these at any Mexican grocery store. Tajin is a mix of sea salt, mild chilie
I included a “side beer” because A) It’s Wisconsin and Quarantine Times and you should have a beer while you’re making your cocktail…and B) I work for MolsonCoors now and SOL is one of my brands! Gotta #rep ;)
Step 1: Crack open your SOL. Step 2: Season your rim. Step 3: Stir together the tequila, grapefruit soda, and lime juice. Add ice. Step 4: Salud! Fair warning, these go down FAST. Despite the 2:1 ratio, you hardly taste the tequila…
