* Thyme Paloma Cocktail
What does make sense is taking beautiful, in-season, ripe, juicy grapefruit, and putting tequila on it. Nature’s most tart, refreshing citrus graces us in the winter. We may not need refreshment from the heat, but we do need refreshment from… Everything else. So let’s drink.
A traditional paloma (which, by the way, is THE most popular tequila-based cocktail in Mexico) is made with tequila and grapefruit soda. But, as I said earlier, nature’s bounty and all that. Right now, we’ll go with fresh-squeezed juice and club soda.
Thyme Paloma Cocktail // serves one
- Recipe -
* 4-6 sprigs fresh thyme
* 1 teaspoon sugar, superfine if possible
* 1 shot anejo tequila or mezcal
* 1 shot fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice
* Juice of 1/2 a lime
* Club soda
If using thyme, muddle it with the sugar in a cocktail shaker first–if not, just add the sugar to the shaker. Pour in tequila and juices and stir until sugar is dissolved. Strain into an ice-filled 6-ounce glass, then top off with club soda. Makes 1.
