Spicy Grapefruit Paloma

Looking for the perfect summer cocktail recipe? This Spicy Grapefruit Paloma is my new summer go-to! Made with fresh grapefruit, limes, and a homemade sweet and spicy jalapeño honey syrup, it’s a fresh alternative to other tequila cocktails.

First, make the jalapeño honey syrup. It’s a mix of honey, boiling water, and a few jalapeño slices. This syrup can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a month. Next, prepare the cocktail. Mix the grapefruit juice, lime, and tequila. Add a drizzle of the jalapeño honey syrup. Finish the cocktail off with a sweet and spicy rimmed glass and top with a splash of sparkling water. You could use grapefruit-flavored sparkling water or just regular sparkling water as well. Garnish with extra jalapeño and a lime or grapefruit slice for the perfect drink. You can make it as a single or create a pitcher for all your guests. Enjoy!

To make the Spicy Grapefruit Paloma, you will need the following ingredients:
