Piquant Paloma
The paloma is a tequila-based cocktail. This drink is most commonly prepared by mixing tequila, lime juice, and a grapefruit juice (or even soda such as Fresca, Squirt, or Jarritos) and served on the rocks with a lime wedge. This spicy version is a fun twist on the traditional recipe.
