This Paloma cocktail is grapefruit-forward thanks to an infused grapefruit simple syrup made with dried grapefruit slices from CITREVE. The flavor is bold, bright, and layered, taking this cocktail to a whole new level. It’s so good as a cocktail, and just as delicious as a mocktail, simply leave out the tequila. Looking for a delicious game day sip that everyone will want to keep pouring? This one delivers. You’re really going to love this one. Grab the dried grapefruit slices from the Food Social Market, so you’re always ready to shake this one up, and use code CABINCRAVINGS for a discount.

Notes

Mocktail version: Simply skip the tequila—still bold, still delicious.
Batching: Multiply ingredients and mix everything except the sparkling water ahead of time. Chill, then top with bubbles just before serving.
Garnish tip: Don’t skip the dried grapefruit slice—it adds even more infused grapefruit flavor.
