This Paloma Cooler has been done a couple of times, but it’s a good winter treat, especially when citrus is in season. The key ingredient here (aside from the tequila) is a grapefruit soda – but a healthier option might be fresh grapefruit juice and seltzer. You’d lose a lot of sweetness, but that’s the small price one has to pay for healthy drinking.
It’s all about the salt rim and floating lime tequila shot anyway. The rest is just gravy. Grapefruit gravy. Citrus spritz. It’s Saturday, and it’s all good.
