Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen grapefruit segments
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup tequila blanco
- 1/4 cup simple syrup
- 1/2 cup chilled club soda or sparkling water
- Grapefruit wedges, for garnish
- Lime slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the frozen grapefruit segments, lime juice, tequila blanco, and simple syrup into a high-powered blender.
- Blend the ingredients until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of club soda at a time until you reach a slushy consistency.
- Taste the mixture and add more simple syrup if you prefer it sweeter, or more lime juice for extra tartness.
- Pour the blended mixture into glasses.
- Top each frozen paloma with a splash of chilled club soda for extra fizz.
- Garnish each glass with a grapefruit wedge and a lime slice. Serve immediately.
Notes
- To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool completely before using.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the tequila and increase the club soda to 1 cup.
- You can substitute fresh pink grapefruit juice for the frozen segments if you do not have a strong blender, but add 1 cup of ice cubes.
