Cocktail of the Week: The Paloma

Here's a yummy drink for the last days of summer. It's tart and complex. (Don't shortchange yourself and use silver tequila...the reposado called for provides wonderful richness.) Cheers!

Reposado Cocktail
Makes one cocktail.

2 ounces reposado tequila (Herradura is my house brand.)
Juice from half of a lime
Pinch of salt (I guess you could rim the glass in salt if you'd like.)
Grapefruit soda (Use a Mexican one like Cerritos if you can. You can also substitute grapefruit juice mixed with club soda.)

I like to use a cocktail glass for this one. And crushed ice.

Pour tequila into glass and squeeze in lime juice. Add ice and salt, top with grapefruit soda. Stir and garnish with a lime wedge.
