If you’re Mexican or had a drink at bar in Mexico you’ve probably had a Paloma. This is one of my favorite and also one of the most popular cocktails in Mexico, not the margarita.

So, I’m going to share the most simple yet delicious, perfect for summer, cocktail.

Here is how to make a simple Paloma cocktail:

For the rim:

In a bowl wide enough, add some salt and Tajin and stir it up.

Cocktail:

Fill your glass with a few ice cubes.

Add 1 or 2 shots (You do you) of Tequila blanco (silver)

Squeeze in half a lime or a wedge of grapefruit if you have it.

Fill the rest of your glass with grapefruit soda.

For slightly reduced calories:

For less calories fill the rest of your glass with half grapefruit soda and half grapefruit sparkling water instead. I do this because I don’t like my drinks too sweet.

And that’s it! Enjoy your cocktail!
