The Paloma Frutado is a refreshing and delicious drink that stands out for its combination of citrus and sweet flavors. This cocktail is a variation on the classic Paloma, originally from Mexico, which is made with tequila, grapefruit juice and grapefruit soda. However, in Paloma Frutado, we add a variety of fruits to give it an extra touch of flavor and color. Let's learn how to make this magnificent drink with our step-by-step recipe.
Before we start, it is important to remember that the quality of the ingredients is fundamental for the final result of your drink. Therefore, always try to use fresh and good quality ingredients. Now, let's go to the ingredients needed for our Fruity Paloma:
- 60 ml of silver tequila
- 120 ml of fresh grapefruit juice
- 30 ml of fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1/2 cup of fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.)
- Grapefruit soda to complete
- Ice to taste
- Salt and a slice of lemon to decorate
With the ingredients in hand, let's prepare our Fruity Paloma:
1. Start by preparing the glass where you will serve your drink. Take the slice of lemon and run it around the edge of the glass to moisten it. Then turn the glass upside down and dip the edge in the salt so that it is well covered. Book it.
2. In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh fruit and sugar. With the help of a macerator, mash the fruits well until they release all their juice. This will help give your drink a more intense flavor and vibrant color.
3. Add grapefruit juice, lime juice and tequila to cocktail shaker. Fill halfway with ice and shake well for about 20 seconds. This will help mix all the ingredients well and cool the drink.
4. Using a strainer, pour the contents of the cocktail shaker into the previously prepared glass. Top up the glass with grapefruit soda.
5. Finally, you can decorate your Fruity Paloma with a slice of grapefruit or with some of the fruits you used to prepare the drink. And ready! Now all you have to do is enjoy your delicious Fruity Paloma.
This drink is perfect to be served at parties or gatherings with friends, especially on hot days. Its combination of citrus and sweet flavors, along with tequila, makes it a refreshing and at the same time striking drink.
In addition, Paloma Frutado is a great option for those who want to try something different and get out of the traditional. Its colorful and eye-catching presentation is sure to impress your guests.
So why not try making a Fruity Paloma at your next get-together with friends? It will definitely be a success! Always remember to drink in moderation and not drive after consuming alcoholic beverages. Cheers!
