PALOMA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the grapefruit rinds and sugar. Toss to coat the rinds with the sugar, then cover. Let sit, stirring every 45 minutes, for about 4 hours, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and there's syrup in the bottom of the bowl.
• Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pushing to extract as much syrup as possible. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the tequila, lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
• Strain into a glass filled with ice and top with club soda.
• Garnish with the grapefruit wedge.
• Enjoy!

PALOMA

Steps:

• Dip the rim of a highball glass in a bowl of water, shake off the excess, then sprinkle a spoonful of salt onto a plate or saucer and dip the glass into that to coat the rim.
• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add all the remaining ingredients minus the soda water. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels cold, then strain into your prepared glass. Add a few fresh ice cubes and top with soda water to serve. Garnish with the wedge of grapefruit.
