Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
Wedges of grapefruit
1 cup freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice
1 cup white tequila, preferably Dosamigos
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar syrup

Steps:

  • Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup salt on a small plate. Run a wedge of grapefruit around the rim of 4 glasses to moisten the rims. Lightly dip the rims in the sugar mixture and set aside to dry.
  • Combine the grapefruit juice, tequila, lime juice, sugar syrup, and a pinch of salt together in a pitcher. Fill a cocktail shaker 1/2 full with ice and pour in the drink mixture. Shake the cocktail shaker for 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink. Pour into the 4 prepared glasses, add a few ice cubes, and a wedge of grapefruit and serve ice cold.
  • To make sugar syrup, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the mixture is clear. Cool and refrigerate indefinitely.

Categories     beverage

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon Himalayan pink salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
3 teaspoons superfine sugar
4 pink grapefruits
1 jalapeno, sliced into rings
7 1/2 ounces reposado tequila
1 lime

Steps:

  • Combine the pink salt, cayenne and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl, then place in a shallow dish to rim the glasses.
  • Juice the grapefruits with a citrus reamer or with the wide holes on a juicer to obtain plenty of pulp but strain out the seeds. (You need 12 to 14 ounces.) Add to a small pitcher.
  • Put the jalapeno slices in a cocktail shaker along with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar and muddle to break the peppers down into a rough mash. Add the tequila and a scoop of ice and shake to infuse; then pour through a strainer into the grapefruit juice and stir to combine.
  • Slice the lime into 6 wheels and make a slice halfway into each wheel to hang on each glass. Run the lime along half of the rim of each glass and dip in the pink salt mixture, then garnish with the lime slice. Fill the glasses with ice and divide the Palomas over the top.
