Sabrina’s Paloma Cocktail Recipe
Though you can enjoy this cocktail any time of year, it really makes the perfect drink for the summer. The lime and grapefruit juice add a bright, refreshing tart fruit flavor. The club soda and simple syrup balance it out, so it’s perfectly citrusy without without being overly sweet or sour. If you like the punchy lime and tequila flavor of margaritas, but want to switch it up a bit, this definitely a drink to try!
