It’s the sweetest time of the year, friends. No, not spring… but I do love spring.. it’s CITRUS SEASON!
My goodness, I love this time! Limes & lemons have so much juice. Oranges & grapefruits are so sweet. It’s the perfect time of year to make a clementine cake & pair it with.. oh, I don’t know.. maybe a crisp & refreshing paloma?
If you’ve never had a paloma, let me be the first to tell you.. they are the best. Maybe I’m biased. But they’re basically a grapefruit margarita. See, I told you they were the best.
They’re great anytime of year, but right now is their glory time.
I cannot stress this enough… use real, fresh juice! Do not be fooled by the ease of the bottle stuff. That is not for you, keep walking. I promise you’ll thank me later.
Now that we’ve agreed on that, let’s proceed on making this beautiful, beautiful drink.
It’s really simple. Get to juicing your grapefruit & lime. Already amazing. Then just add in your agave & of course the tequila. Shake, shake & shake!
I personally like to go ahead & divide this mixture between the four glasses with lots of ice, then pour over the club soda. Of course you could mix in the club soda & then divide.
So delicious, so simple, so refreshing. Done, done & done.
Enjoy your citrus season to the fullest, my friends!
Bon Appetit!
