Notes & Review

Refreshing and delicious. High-quality citrus is paramount here. It's well-balanced between the lime and grapefruit although some might prefer to add a bit more grapefruit and less lime (maybe 1 1/4 and 1/2, respectively) to make it more "Paloma-ish". The jalapeño flavor and kick makes this drink even more special. Great for brunch or a hot summer day.
