Directions
These Zero-proof Palomas skip the tequila and add in muddled jalapeo for a spicy take on the classic. This virgin paloma is then topped off with fresh grapefruit and lime juices and sparkling water for a refreshing drink without the alcohol. Its great for when you want something more exciting than water without a ton of extra sugar. For more mocktail recipes, try my Nojito (a mojito without the rum) and Virgin Bloody Mary.,A traditional paloma consists of grapefruit soda, lime juice, and tequila for a tart and sweet drink. used fresh grapefruit juice and sparkling water in this mocktail because its lighter and less sweet than grapefruit soda. Its also delicious with grapefruit sparkling water, like LaCroix. If you do want to add in tequila, use two ounces of blanco or reposado tequila.,A spicy paloma has jalapenos, which I muddle with agave syrup and water, to give it more of a kick.,Mojito,Basil-Cucumber Gin Cooler,Iced Green Tea Mojito,Citrus Margarita Spritzer,Celery Cilantro Cocktail
