Virgin Paloma

The Virgin Paloma is a zesty alcohol-free take on Mexico's favourite cocktail: pink grapefruit, lime, a little syrup and soda with a salted rim.

Ingredients

• 75ml fresh pink grapefruit juice
• 15ml fresh lime juice
• 10ml agave or sugar syrup
• Soda water, to top
• Pinch of salt
• Ice
• Grapefruit wedge, to garnish

Method

1. Rim: Run a lime wedge round a tall glass and dip it in salt.
2. Build: Fill with ice, add the juices, syrup and a pinch of salt.
3. Top: Top up with soda and garnish.

Tips for the Perfect Virgin Paloma

• Pink grapefruit gives a sweeter, prettier drink.
• A drop of grapefruit bitters adds depth.
• Try a chilli-salt rim for a spicy kick.

Variations

Use grapefruit soda instead of juice and soda for an even quicker version.

Please drink responsibly. Know your limits, and never drink and drive.
