Paloma Spritzer
I have been loving this refreshing beverage this spring. While I love a good Classic Margarita and Ranch Water brings a smile to my face, sometimes I just want a break from lime. This does the trick!
Bonus, this recipe is free of added sugars.
Always use 100% agave tequila. My favorites are Don Julio Blanco and Casamigos.
While I usually use tequila, I have been obsessed with mezcal lately., which gives it a little more a smoky flavor. My favorite mezcal is from Casamigos as well, black bottle.
Below I give portions but frankly I follow this rule of thumb:
equal parts grapefruit juice and tequila or mezcal
a squeeze of lime
fill with ice
top with Topo Chico or club soda
Enjoy!
