Fresh Paloma Cocktail with Honey Syrup
A delicious refreshing cocktail made from fresh grapefruit juice, lime juice, tequila, sparkling water and a homemade honey syrup.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 Tbs honey
- 2 Tbs hot water
- 8 ounces fresh squeezed grapefruit juice (this was from 2 grapefruit for me)
- 4.5 ounces tequila 3 shots ( clear tequila is best)
- 1.5 ounces lime juice (1 shot)
- 2-4 ounces grapefruit sparkling water or plain sparkling water
Instructions
- To start, make the honey simple syrup. In a cup or small bowl, mix 1 Tbs of honey with 2 Tbs boiling hot water. Mix until the honey is melted. Set aside.
- In a large shaker or a large bowl, mix the grapefruit juice, tequila, lime juice, and honey syrup together. Taste it. Add the sparkling water or grapefruit sparkling water to taste and mix again.
Notes
Note: this tastes great with fresh mint.
- It is better with a clear higher quality tequila. I like Don Julio.
