Frozen Strawberry Paloma

Tequila
Prep time: 10 mins
Author: Gina Pace
Three glasses of red strawberry cocktails with whole strawberries on the rim, a pitcher, and a bottle of Don Julio Blanco tequila on a yellow tablecloth.

The paloma, a classic Mexican cocktail, features a tequila base and is usually made with grapefruit soda, lime juice and salt. Many consider it to be the unofficial national drink of Mexico. It’s most commonly made with carbonated, citrus-flavored club soda, but creative riffs using a variety of fruits and spices have grown in popularity in recent years. This frozen version uses strawberries but keeps the zing from the grapefruit and lime, and the salt helps the bright flavors pop.
