Friday Night Cocktails
In Mexico, Paloma cocktails are more popular than margaritas, and for good reason: Grapefruit flavor mixes perfectly with tequila, better than lime juice alone.
A traditional Paloma is made with a grapefruit soda such as Squirt. But this refreshing version, served at Apothecary in Philadelphia, calls instead for freshly squeezed white grapefruit juice and for club soda, to add fizz.

May I suggest trying Himalayan pink salt? I get mine from Sustainable Sourcing (here’s their website: https://secure.sustainablesourcing.com ). Not only would it taste wonderful, but with this drink in the glass, it would look very pretty too (in case you like pretty drinks, that is!). Just saying!
