Do I have to use fresh juice?

Fresh juice is the foundation of this recipe and will taste the best. You’ll want to squeeze a grapefruit and a lime for this mocktail. You’ll need about half of each - a grapefruit and a lime - for 1 mocktail.

What kind of grapefruit should I use?

Red grapefruit or pink grapefruit are the sweetest and will give the best flavor. White grapefruit will work too, but they tend to be more sour so you may need to add an additional 0.25 oz of grapefruit simple syrup to the drink. Just be sure to taste it in the shaker before you pour and adjust to your taste.

How can I make this a cocktail?

To make this Paloma Mocktail into a Paloma cocktail , add 1.5 oz of silver tequila or vodka to the cocktail shaker when mixing up this mocktail for a quick and easy cocktail.

What can I use instead of the grapefruit simple syrup?

You can use traditional simple syrup if that’s what you have on hand. It will decrease the grapefruit flavor of the drink, so you may want to use a grapefruit flavored sparkling water instead of club soda if you decide to go this route.
