Weekend Drink: The Paloma

Saturday afternoon, after a marathon session of house tidying (woo!) I was in need of a drink. I'm not much of a liquor drinker, but wanted to test out a simple cocktail that Jeff and I would be able to match a meal to. Jeff pulled up a mixed drink app, while I searched around a few of my favorite lifestyle blogs for inspiration.

I found just the drink over on Austinite and entertaining guru, Camille Styles's site. I'm newish to her blog, but this chic has it going on! She threw a 40th birthday party for her husband a few months ago and one of the drinks featured was a favorite cocktail of his, the Paloma.

I googled a few recipes for the drink and ended up making the most simple version with just three ingredients!

• Tequila
• Fresh Squeezed Grapefruit Juice
• Agave

 I added a few blood oranges for sweetness and color (oh, the color!)

I also squeezed in a little lime after shaking everything up in a handy mason jar.

Jeff manned the stove top and we enjoyed our light, citrusy, way too easy-to-drink Palomas with steak fajitas. The Paloma is quickly moving up the ranks of my favorite drinks list and I don't hesitate in saying that I definitely got my fill of Vitamin C Saturday evening!

Cheers!
