Jalapeno Paloma Cocktail
The bright, zippy, and slightly spicy Jalapeno Paloma Cocktail is made with muddled jalapeno, fresh Ruby Red grapefruit juice, tangy lime juice, tequila, and a splash of club soda. This citrusy cocktail is the perfect addition to your Mexican fiesta, Sunday Funday, or gathering with friends!
Ingredients
- 1 jalapeno slice thicker slices = spicier drink
- 2 1/2 ounces freshly-squeezed Ruby Red grapefruit juice
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup directions in post
- 2 ounces club soda
- garnishes: jalapeno slice, lime slice, salted glass rim
Instructions
- Either in your glass or a shaker, muddle the jalapeno slice. I like to smash it to smithereens, but I like a good amount of jalapeno flavor in my drink. (If you don't want pieces of jalapeno in your drink, make the cocktail in a shaker and strain it).
- Add the grapefruit juice, tequila, lime juice, and simple syrup to your glass or shaker, if you're using one. Give everything a nice stir/shake.
- Shaker: If using a shaker, pour over a fine-mesh strainer into your glass with ice and top with club soda, and stir once more. In glass: Add ice, add the club soda, and stir once more. Garnish with a jalapeno slice or lime slice if desired. Cheers!
