Blood Orange Paloma {Refined Sugar-free}
A light and healthier take on the Mexican classic Paloma. Filled with the traditional tequila, lime, and sugar-free grapefruit sparkling water, we also top ours with fresh blood orange juice for an extra pop of flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 blood oranges juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup optional
- 4 ounces tequila Reposado or Silver
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 can grapefruit sparkling or seltzer water such as Spindrift
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
- Fill two rocks glasses with ice.
- If using sweetener, stir into blood orange juice. Add 2 ounces blood orange juice, 2 ounces tequila, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to each glass. Stir to combine, then top with grapefruit seltzer. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
Notes
*We aren't huge fans of a salt rim, and instead add it to the drink itself. If you prefer a salt rimmed glass, use one of your lime wedges to wet the edge of each glass, then dip in a salt-lined plate.
**This also makes a wonderful virgin mocktail, just leave out the tequila and sweeten to taste.
