My first taste of the eponymous Mrs Difford’s drink. The new taste of summer… or should be! After a 37 deg C day this was just the thing! Used homemade grapefruit lemonade from Klaus Skt Rainer’s Cocktails book. Surly upped the lime for my taste/today’s fruit and enjoyed a half-salted rim. Super refreshing and delicious.

If only it was that warm over this side of the world today...more like 37 deg F in chilly UK! Happy to hear you have the weather to enjoy it, a delicious summer cocktail ♥️

Los Cabos | Fever Tree | pasteurized gfruit ... great mix, well balanced, matter of fact i accidentally have 20% extra agave and i can tell it would be better with simon's spec had i poured more accurately. using a cheap tequila, but doesn't hurt it, could handle more spirit if i wanted

I had never had a Paloma - I am on Statins for medical reasons which generally proscribe even the smallest doses of grapefruit! However I found an alternative form that is not grapefruit intolerant and thankyou NHS got switched.
I love both grapefruit and tequila and am now in heaven - I will never drink a Margarita again - Wow

We add a generous barspoon of Grapefruit Honey Cheong to our Palomas. [Mash 2 ruby grapefruit with 230g (1/2lb) each of honey (we use leatherwood) and sugar (we use demarera), fill a sterilised jar and place it in the fridge for a week before enjoying.] This allows us to dial back on the agave syrup and go with just plain soda.

Incidentally, if you've enjoyed one or two too many Palomas the night before, shake 3 generous barspoons of Grapefruit Honey Cheong and 1 cup of freshly brewed but cool tea (we use Earl Grey) with ice and strain into a glass filled with 1 cup crushed ice; garnish with a sprig of mint. You'll be back to feeling wonderful in no time at all.

Happy birthday Paloma, have a fabulous day, and I think a cocktail with champagne is in order. 😊

A very enjoyable and refreshing cocktail. Hopefully we have a nice summer this year so I can enjoy one in the garden!

Very nice anytime drink.
I substituted half of the Blanco tequila for reposado tequila, to get a little more of that "tequila taste". Highly recommended.

I like to omit the salt rim and instead add a bit of saline solution. Tequila blanco and citrus are perfect for that addition.
