La Paloma is another winning drink from my tequila class at the Astor Center. It's light and refreshing and I understand why it's the most popular drink in Guadalajara, Mexico. I'm pretty sure it could make a hot humid day anywhere on the planet better. The drink is simple to make, though finding a good grapefruit soda like the Mexican Jarritos brand or Squirt
can be a challenge. If you can't locate grapefruit soda (even
Fresca will work in a pinch) you
can use fresh grapefruit juice and top with some lemon-lime soda
like we did in our class.
Cheers! XO Martha
Mr Martha gives it a thumbs up!
