Weekend Cocktail #4: The Paloma

The Paloma is a Mexican cocktail I found while playing on Martha's Mexican Fiesta ideas section of her site.

The light and fruity drink is a refreshing alternative to the average margarita.

You can use a blanco or resposado tequila and sub in grapefruit juice and splash of club soda instead of fresca.

     The Paloma

•      1/2 oz lime juice
•      2 oz resposado or blanco tequila
•      4 oz grapefruit soda or fresca
•      lime wedge
•      Coarse salt, for rim

1. Rub rim of a highball glass with a lime wedge and twist in a small dish of coarse salt to coat the rim.
2. Fill glass halfway with ice, lime juice, tequila.
3. Top with grapefruit soda.
