Paloma Cocktail Ingredients

Grapefruit Juice
Lime Juice
Tequila
Club Soda
Simple Syrup
Ice, of course!
salt and chili powder for the rim of the glass, optional.

I used juice from fresh grapefruit for this recipe but you can use bottled grapefruit juice too. Using fresh grapefruit juice avoids a bottle of store-bought juice lying in the refrigerator for months ( I am bad at organizing my refrigerator ). I also used juice from fresh limes as I have many at home, bottled lime juice works too!

For the non-alcoholic version, skip tequila and add 2 oz more grapefruit juice to add flavor to the drink.
