A refreshing cocktail made with grapefruit, tequila, and a few minutes is ready! Grapefruit Palomas are a delicious, easy-going drink. It's a perfect way to begin a hot night. The drink is also great for those who are looking to spice up their favorite margarita.
Three ingredients are all you need to make the classic Paloma - grapefruit juice lime juice tequila. You'll want to use a good quality blanco tequila, but you can swap that out for reposado if you like.
Palomas are best when they have a slight tartness and a sweetness that comes from grapefruit juice. You can add a little liqueur to the mix if you like, but I find that grapefruit juice and tequila taste great on their own.
If you're not a fan of tequila, you can easily replace it with mezcal or any other smoky spirit. You can substitute lemon for lime and add extra sweetness to tequila. If you're really in the mood for a spicy Paloma, you can drop some jalape
To add a little extra kick to your tequila, slice it!

How to Make a Cocktail with Grapefruit and Tequila
For a delicious and refreshing Paloma, you need just three easy-to-find ingredients: grapefruit juice, lime juice and your choice of tequila. You can shake your drinks or just stir them in glasses. Salt your glasses to get the best Paloma.
Salt rims enhance the flavor of your Paloma, and they are easy to make! Rub a tiny bit of sea-salt on the rim. You can either use coarse sea or kosher for a more delicate rim.
You can also sprinkle your tequila with a little bit of agave syrup for a sweeter version that's still just as refreshing. You can make a nonalcoholic Grapefruit Paoma if you don't like the sweeter version. Simply replace the tequila in the recipe with any spirit you prefer or even soda water.

How to make a delicious martini
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. It is usually served in a chilled glass. It should be enjoyed straight up. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
Any type of alcohol can be used, however it is best to use 100% grain alcohol such as Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail more texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. 1 ounce vodka is added. Shake vigorously until well combined. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
