Hi Friends,
I hope everyone was able to enjoy their Mother’s Day. I was blessed to wake up to flowers, gifts, a drawing from my son, along with a delicious breakfast spread from my fiancé. My son and him did an amazing job at making me feel special…and full lol.
Usually on Mother’s Day the featured beverage is the Mom’mosa ;-) however this year I decided to switch it up and I crafted one of my favorite refreshing cocktails, The Paloma.
Similar to a Salty Dog, The Paloma is also made with grapefruit juice, but instead of vodka it is mixed with my all time favorite spirt - TEQUILA.
I enjoy the tart sourness of a good Paloma. And like I mentioned before- it really is such a refreshing cocktail. I believe the recipe I put together is more revitalizing because I add some bubbles by using Fresca Grapefruit Sparkling Soda. The fizz helps take this beverage to new levels of joy!
Tips before you mix:
Silver Tequila
Fresh Grapefruit
Fresh Lime
Blanco or silver tequila is suggested. I pulled out the new millennial favorite, Meme-Made tequila, JaJa Blanco. All jokes aside, it’s a great spirt and mixes well for creative self-made mixologist like myself. In addition to using blanco tequila, use fresh squeezed grapefruit juice if possible. If you use store bought grapefruit juice it will make the drink heavy and will take away from it’s uplifting refreshing taste.
Two ways to salt- you can either salt your rim (add some lime zest for fun, trust me) or you can Salt-Bae a dash of salt into the beverage. Also, feel free to leave the salt out completely.
No shaking required, you can simply build the drink over ice in one glass, give it a quick stir with your reusable straw (I like these) add your garnishes and sip away.
I hope you all enjoy my JaJa Fresca Paloma! Please feel free to share and don’t forget to post and tagging us on Instagram —> @superflymom3
And PLEASE- even as we all #stayhome Drink Responsibly.
With Love,
