Minty Ginger Paloma
A spicy but refreshing riff on a paloma cocktail.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Old Fashioned Glass
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila Reposado
- 1 ½ oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice
- 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- ½ oz Agave Nectar sub honey syrup or simple syrup
- 10 Mint Leaves
- 3-4 Fresh Slices of Ginger
- Ginger Beer optional, to top up
- 1 slice Grapefruit for garnish
- 1 sprig mint for garnish
Instructions
- Add fresh ginger and mint to cocktail shaker and muddle until the juices are released and the mixture is fragarant. Don't worry about mashing the mint leaves too much, but you want to get all of the spicy goodness out of the ginger.
- Add all remaining ingredients (except for ginger beer if using) and ice to the shaker
- Shake and strain over ice into an old fashioned glass
- Top up with ginger beer, if desired, and garnish with a slice of grapefruit and sprig of mint.
Notes
This is a great cocktail to make in advance for a dinner party or a picnic. You can bring the ginger beer (and garnishes if you're fancy) along separately and combine with the drink over ice once the party's started!
