This experiment takes the idea of the La Paloma cocktail (possibly Mexico’s favorite cocktail) and turns it into a more concentrated drink by replacing the grapefruit soda with grapefruit liqueur.
With a relatively simple ingredient list:
- Herradura Reposado Tequila
- Lime Juice
- Combier Crème de Pamplemousse Rose,
the predicted cocktail recipe presents a focused burst of agave, lime, and grapefruit to the palate but without any roughness to it. With a fair amount of sweetness already present in the Pamplemousse and Tequila, one can execute this drink without simple syrup.
