The Best Grapefruit Soda To Use For Paloma Drinks - Tasting Table
www.tastingtable.com
Having a good grapefruit soda for your Paloma can make or break the drink. After all, the soda makes the cocktail fizzy and provides most of the flavoring.

I am glad to see Jarritos won this taste test, that’s hands down my favorite grapefruit soda for a Paloma.

Since they do not recommend any particular recipe:

I fill pint glass most of the way with ice, get out a cup measure (the kind you can pour from), measure 2oz tequila, one ounce fresh lime, fill the rest with the soda (about 4 oz, there’s more room in there than exactly 8oz) and pour it over the ice. Delicious.

I do often make something like this too, wouldn’t call it a Paloma but grapefruit and mezcal are fantastic together.

      Ha! Is Ting your favorite? I am absolutely team Jarritos, my kids like both Ting and Squirt better as sodas, though they love the lime and the pineapple Jarritos, and also the guava one, they don’t love the grapefruit.

        Jarritos is delicious, especially their lime, but I find it a little sweet. Nothing is quite as refreshing as Ting.
