Here is a quick and easy drink recipe slightly adapted from Bon Appetit. Opting for a sweeter drink, I swapped out the salt rimmed glass with a sugar rimmed glass, but please feel free to choose salt or sugar!

I really enjoyed this drink and have made it several time since first trying it. Worrying that the tequila might be a little too strong, I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted it. The blend of grapefruit, lime, and sugar blended perfectly with the tequila, making for a very refreshing drink!

    Question, a 1/4 of what for the tequila? Is that a 1/4 of an ounce, 1/4 of a cup or a 1/4 of a bottle? Or is that up to the bartender…lol

      Thanks for pointing out the typo! It’s 1/4 of a cup. Although I fully advocate leaving the amount of tequila up to the bartender’s discretion! 😉

    […] Pink cocktails are sumptuously sweet and dreamy, especially our newest confection. The palest pink mother of pearl slice sits atop this stunning 14kt rose gold ring like a flat disc of glossy cotton candy. With the thinnest halo of diamonds finer than sugar granules, this ring is a delicate beauty. And with such a sweet ring on your hand, you need something equally sweet in your hand. Enter The Paloma, a saccharine but not cloying treat from B’s in the Kitchen. Cheers! […]
