Guava Paloma
This tropical guava paloma balances the sweetness of guava and the tartness of grapefruit, with a spicy Tajín rim and fragrant garnish, making it the perfect refreshing cocktail.
Hey there, and welcome back, friends.
You are in for a tropical treat!
Sipping this drink might transport you to Mexico! At least it did for me. It’s refreshing, tasty, and has a hint of spiciness.
I love a good paloma and have made a few for the blog like this Peach Paloma, Passionfruit Paloma, and Strawberry Paloma.
This classic Mexican drink uses grapefruit, lime juice, and tequila. I added a twist by adding guava. It balances the tart taste of the grapefruit and lime. Who doesn’t love the tropical flavor of guava???
The other special part of this drink is the Tajin rim. It’s zesty and spicy and complements the fruity layers of this drink! It adds a Mexican touch to this Paloma drink.
Enjoy sipping this paloma over the summer, and it’s great for serving at summer BBQs. Everyone will love it!
