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….

September 4, 2013 at 12:17 pmSo…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)

September 4, 2013 at 12:24 pmLooks 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.

September 4, 2013 at 10:23 pmHas 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.

September 7, 2013 at 12:54 pmIf 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+
