This week we bring you a spring twist on the Paloma. This classic cocktail that dates back to the 1950s is traditionally made with tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda. It is refreshing and easy to make, and it can be easily customized with additional complementary flavors. Adding strawberries and basil to the grapefruit mixture creates a flavorful springtime twist on this classic drink.
