One of the most refreshing tequila cocktails outside of the Margarita is, hands down, the Paloma. A classic Paloma is made with fresh grapefruit juice, but this enhanced version also calls for a grapefruit soda like Jarritos Grapefruit, or Squirt. Both of these options are amazing, but you can never go wrong with the combination of Squirt and tequila in a drink! Make sure to use a Blanco Tequila in this cocktail, and don't forget to use fresh grapefruit juice. While it is a hassle to squeeze, real fresh grapefruit juice makes a big difference in this tequila Cocktail.
