PATRÓN PALOMA

- 3 oz Fresh grapefruit juice
- .5 oz Fresh squeezed lime juice
- .5 oz Agave syrup (1:1)*
- 1 oz sparkling mineral water, chilled
- Grapefruit wedge for garnish
- Himalayan salt and refined white sugar for rimming
METHOD:
- Using a small saucer or plate, combine the salt and sugar together, set aside.
- Using a fresh lime wedge, sliced across the middle, rub the juice across half of the Collins glass rim, then tip upside down and submerge the rim of the glass into the salt and sugar mix (this gives a half salt rim).
- In the same Collins glass, add the tequila, lime, grapefruit, and agave syrup (see recipe below).
- Add the ice right to the top and add the chilled grapefruit soda. Using the bar spoon, gently stir from the bottom to the top to mix the ingredients.
- Add the grapefruit wedge to the glass, down the side.
