Palomas are my all time favorite summer drink. Although I prefer them best beside a taco, they are the perfect outdoor patio/sip by the pool/enjoy any time of year cocktail as well. I even had a rosemary paloma as my signature drink at my wedding! I couldn’t wait to share it with my guests, and now I can share it with you, too. They are so easy to make and are a delicious balance of refreshing lime, punchy grapefruit, and sweet aromatic rosemary. For a smokier flavor, try using mezcal. Cheers!
