Glass Guide- Collins Glass

For a refreshing, thirst quenching tequila cocktail, the Paloma is definitely at the top of the list and it's a favorite in Mexico. It's a light, fruity drink with a fizz and one of the smoothest tequila drinks out there. Almost any blanco tequila works well in combination with the grapefruit and you may also see this cocktail with grapefruit juice and a splash of soda instead of a grapefruit soda like Squirt.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz blanco or reposado tequil
  • 6 oz fresh grapefruit sod
  • 1/2 oz lime juic
  • salt for rimming (optional

Preparation:

  1. Rim a collins glass with salt.
  2. Fill the glass with ice and add the tequila and lime juice.
  3. Top it off with grapefruit soda.
