On a family trip to Guadalajara, Mexico a few years back we often had a drink called a Rusa , which I found out later is also known as a Paloma. We've been enjoying these for years now. They're easier to make than Margaritas but just as tasty and refreshing. We don't really use a recipe, but I found this one from Martha Stewart. We don't do the drunken lime floater, but it sounds like a fun idea. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 teaspoon lime juice |
1 ounce platinum tequila |
1 (13 1/2 ounce) bottle mexican grapefruit soda (can use squirt soda instead) |
1 lime wedge, for garnish |
ice |
coarse salt, for rim (i like to add a pinch of salt to the drink itself, along with the lime juice) |
Directions:
1. Rub rim of a highball glass with lime wedge; invert glass in a small dish of coarse salt, twisting to coat rim. 2. Fill glass halfway with ice, 1 teaspoon lime juice, and 1 ounce platinum tequila, then top with Mexican grapefruit soda. 3. Stir. 4. Place cored-out lime half in drink and fill with tequila (try a reposado for added flavor). |
