Pomegranate Paloma
This holiday riff off of a standard Paloma is so refreshing and quenching. Traditionally, grapefruit juice and grapefruit soda is used, but for a winter sipper, I decided to go with pomegranate.
Ingredients:
½ oz agave (maple syrup would also be good!)
¾ oz lime juice
2 oz pomegranate juice
2 oz tequila blanco
club soda* (you could get creative here; try experimenting with different citrus sodas!)
garnish: lime wheel + pomegranate seeds
Directions:
In a cocktail shaker, combine agave, lime juice, pomegranate juice, and tequila. Add ice and shake. Strain over fresh ice into a collins glass and top with club soda. Garnish with a lime wheel and pomegranate seeds.
