Ruby Red Paloma Recipe

Love a good Paloma but don't want the hassle of squeezing a bunch of grapefruit? This easy paloma recipe is your perfect solution. We use our Ruby Red Grapefruit Margarita Mix to do all the hard work for you, packing it with refreshing, Bravado flavor. In about two minutes, you can have a perfectly balanced, refreshing cocktail that tastes like it was made at a high-end bar.

The paloma is one of the best cocktails ever invented. It's simple, refreshing, and lets the tequila shine. But a truly great paloma needs real grapefruit flavor, and many quick versions fall flat by using overly sweet, artificial tasting sodas. This recipe is the fix. We figured out the best way to get that authentic, fresh-squeezed taste with none of the work. The secret is using our Bravado Spice Ruby Red Grapefruit Margarita Mix. It’s not just sugar and flavoring; it’s packed with the bright, slightly bitter, and perfectly sweet taste of real ruby red grapefruit. We balanced it perfectly so all you have to do is pour. By combining the mix with your favorite tequila and topping it with Sparkling Flavored Water, you're building a better paloma. You get the real fruit body from our mix and the crisp bubbles from the soda water, the best of both worlds. Easy as making a rum and coke, if people still drink those. This is the easy paloma recipe that will ruin all other palomas for you, in the best way possible. Let us know what you think in the comments!

• The Spirit: A classic Blanco tequila is perfect, but don't be afraid to experiment. Try a Reposado tequila for more oaky complexity, or swap the tequila for Mezcal to create an amazing Smoky Paloma.
• Herbal Twist: For an extra layer of flavor, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary. Briefly rub it between your palms before dropping it in the glass to release its aromatic oils.
