Grilled Paloma

[JimK]

I don't have much to look at, but tried out Matt Pittman's grilled Paloma cocktail today. I've never had a Paloma before, but I'll certainly have one again.

Update: I made a second one and added about 1/2 oz of simple syrup to it. It definitely took it up a notch.

Nicely done, Jim. Did you like it better grilled?

Never had Paloma, that needs to change. Happy 4th Jim

I've never had a 'regular' Paloma, so I couldn't tell you. I'm going to try one in the near future though.

I'm not familiar with a Paloma, but anything with grilled fruit has to be good!

Not familiar, looks great, checked recipes online. Sounds like simple syrup would be what you needed, recipes call for using soda's.
Any carbonation?
I would think cutting back a bit of the fresh fruit and adding a touch of carbonated water would be delicious..
How did you do it?
I love simple great cocktails, especially with tequila.

Yep, the simple syrup definitely did the trick. There is a splash of club soda in this one, though I'm not sure it added much to the overall cocktail. Maybe I just didn't use enough. In the end, it was 2oz tequila, 2oz grapefruit juice, 1oz of lime juice, 1/2oz of simple syrup and a splash of club soda. I look at it as a simple twist on a classic Margarita. For my Margs, I just use fresh lime juice, tequila and simple syrup. Sometimes a splash of Grand Marnier.
