Spicy Paloma

A Spicy Paloma is a fun twist on the classic Paloma cocktail — it keeps the refreshing grapefruit-and-tequila vibe but adds a little heat. 🌶️🍹

Here’s a recipe you can try:

Ingredients

• 60ml blanco tequila
• 60ml fresh grapefruit juice (or grapefruit soda for a sweeter version)
• 15ml lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 15ml agave nectar (or simple syrup, optional, for balance)
• 2–3 slices of jalapeño (or serrano for extra heat)
• Sparkling water (if using fresh grapefruit juice)
• Salt + chili powder mix (for rim, optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the glass: Rim a highball glass with lime juice, then dip in salt + chili powder mix. Fill with ice.
2. Muddle the heat: In a shaker, muddle jalapeño slices with lime juice.
3. Shake: Add tequila, grapefruit juice, agave, and ice. Shake well.
4. Strain & top: Strain into your prepared glass. Top with sparkling water (if using fresh juice) or just pour over grapefruit soda.
5. Garnish: Add a jalapeño slice or grapefruit wedge for garnish.

👉 Adjust spice by muddling more or fewer jalapeño slices.
