It’s been unusually hot here for this time of year. I’m getting tired of sweating! One thing that has helped is my discovery of this lovely Paloma cocktail. I’ve had one every single night this week (don’t judge). It gives me something to look forward to after a long hot day working in the fields (just kidding, I work in an air conditioned office).
Paloma
Author: Rocky Mountain Woman
Ingredients
- Kosher Salt
- ¼ C grapefruit juice
- 2 T fresh lime juice
- 1 t sugar
- ¼ C tequila
- ¼ C club soda
- slice of lime as a garnish
Instructions
- Pour a little Kosher salt on a clean surface
- Rub the rim of an impossibly cute cocktail glass that your grandchildren gave you with a slice of lime and rub the rim in the salt
- Add the grapefruit juice - pink if you are so inclined (I was inclined), lime juice and sugar
- Add tequila and mix
- Top off with the club soda
Should I be worried that my grand kids give me cocktail glasses?
add some ice and take it out on the deck and sip, sip sip….
So…that really is a cute glass from your grands! (If you were to ask my honey of what is one of my quirks…it would be my inclination or love of drinking glassware! ANY unique or unusual ones…they don’t have to be pricey, but yes, I do like those too…since the price is not what attracts me to them. And some of my favorites are the ones that we got from the POM juices…such a bummer that POM doesn’t bottle their juices in them anymore.
I don’t drink…even the carbonation from sodas are “too much”! lol I do love rootbeer with lots of icecream…
Blessings & Aloha!
(I have been working on signs for our son’s wedding, but was happy to get my post up and visit you, before all the celebrating begins :o)
Looks refreshing. May I ask what plugin you use to print your recipe? I’ve been trying Recipe Card but want something that might be used with craft patterns too. Thanks.
Cheers – what a cute glass.
Love those measuring cups! Too cute!
I’m with Marie– I can’t drink carbonated drinks, but it’s super pretty!
What a pretty drink! I love the glass.
Has anyone mentionned that the glass is very, very cute? Your grandchildren have lovely, sophisticated taste!
Now that drink – it it weren’t past 11 pm I’d be making one and taking it out onto the veranda.
love the glass bet the drink tasted yummy
Now this is a delicious sounding recipe and an adorable glass!
I have enjoyed a few of your posts – cocktails and lawyers probably a good mix! (although sorry to hear you are needing the later)You ‘G is for grieving’ was particularly poignant for me after my Tuesday post.

Yes, it looks very refreshing, nice photos!
What a delightful measuring cup.
Wonder what it would taste like virgin?
I do not like tequila but my son does..wonder if he’d like this / I’ll show it to him 🙂
Drinking from that glass would definitely raise a smile let alone with this lovely sounding cocktail! 😀
A great post…envious of your skills.
MMM I gotta try that! I love anything tequila!
A refreshing beverage treat in this awful hot weather we have been having! Yum!
If there was even the inkling of a possibility that I could handle my liquor, this would be the perfect way to wind down…
Perhaps I will try this recipe with out the alcohol but that might be pointless because it would take all the fun out of it…
Priceless post for the letter “P”!
Thanks for linking.
A+
Your letter P posts are yummy!
Sounds good to me! Love that first photo of the lime.
