A paloma cocktail is a tequila-based cocktail that is most commonly prepared by mixing tequila, lime and grapefruit or orange flavored soda. Usually some sugar is added to this drink to balance the tartness from the lime and grapefruit, but I made mine sugar-free and swapped it for Agave Nectar.
It is light, refreshing, super simple to make and the cranberry pick makes it so holiday-ish. The recipe calls for silver tequila, but I used golden and the drink was still a hit.
