No summer cookout is complete without a delicious and refreshing cocktail (or two). This Strawberry Chamomile Paloma is a natural fit for summer and one of my favorite drinks to serve to a crowd. Made with chamomile-infused syrup, muddled strawberries, grapefruit juice, and tequila, it’s a fun spin on the classic Paloma cocktail.
To start, make the chamomile honey syrup. Bring water and honey to a boil, then simmer until the honey is dissolved. Add in one or two chamomile tea bags and let them steep for 5 to 10 minutes. The longer you steep the tea, the stronger the chamomile flavor will be. Then, remove the tea bags and allow the syrup to cool. The syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to a month. Next, prepare the cocktail. Add the grapefruit juice, chamomile honey syrup, tequila, and strawberries to a tall glass. Use a muddler to smash the strawberries. Add in the ice and top with a splash of sparkling water. Alternatively, strain out the mashed strawberries and pour the cocktail over an ice-filled glass. Dress up your glass with fresh chamomile flowers and sliced strawberries. Enjoy!
To make the Strawberry Chamomile Paloma, you will need the following ingredients:
To a small saucepan, add ¾ cup water and ⅓ cup honey. Bring to a low boil. Simmer, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Add in 1 or 2 tea bags, cover, and allow to steep for 5-10 minutes. Then remove the tea bags and let the syrup cool completely. Store the syrup in the fridge until ready to serve.
To a glass, add 3 ounces fresh grapefruit juice, 2-4 chamomile honey syrup, 2 ounces tequila, and 4 sliced strawberries. Use a muddler to gently push the strawberries down until they are lightly smashed and release their juices.
Fill your glass with ice and then top it off with sparkling water. Stir and taste. Add more syrup if desired.
Garnish with fresh chamomile flowers and sliced strawberries. Enjoy!
