Paloma Cocktail

The paloma (Spanish for "dove") is a tequilla-based cocktail. This drink is most commonly prepared by mixing tequila, lime juice, and a grapefruit soda such as Fresca or Squirt and served on the rocks with a lime wedge. I like using fresh grapefruit juice instead! It’ so delicious.
