Spicy Paloma
Grapefruit + Fresh Pepper Heat
3 min 1 servingEasy
The margarita's cooler cousin gets a sweet heat upgrade. Fresh grapefruit meets Margaheata® for a refreshing, effervescent cocktail that's perfect for warm weather. Want it 0% ABV? Skip the tequila and top with grapefruit soda — the mocktail still drinks like a craft highball.

- 2 oz blanco tequila
- 3 oz fresh grapefruit juice (or Jarritos Grapefruit)
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/4 oz Margaheata® Swicy Syrup
- Club soda to top
- Grapefruit wedge and salt rim (optional)
Instructions

Pro Tip
Mocktail version: drop the tequila and fresh grapefruit juice. Build in a highball over ice with 1/2 oz fresh lime + 1/4 oz Margaheata®, then top with ~5 oz grapefruit soda (Jarritos, Squirt, or Ting). Salt rim optional. Same crisp sweet heat at 0% ABV. Pour trick: 1/4 oz = a 1-second squeeze. Count "Swi-cy" as you pour.
