Strawberry Ginger Paloma: The Tequila Ginger Beer Cocktail

This cocktail is simple and a little sweet. With a tang from the grapefruit juice, the tequila and ginger beer (or ginger ale). Altos Plata Tequila makes a great twist on this drink with its smooth finish, making it enjoyable for those who may not be used to strong drinks.

To make this cocktail:

• Grapefruit juice (1 cup). Better is fresh squeeze.
• Ginger beer (2 tbsp.)
• Altos Plata Tequila (1 oz.)
• Fresh strawberries cut into 3 pieces

For best results, cut the strawberries into pieces and add them to the drink after you’ve poured it over ice.

When the weather is warm, it’s the perfect time to make the most out of your backyard and backyard grill. This strawberry ginger paloma is one of my favorite drinks to make when we have friends over for outdoor get-togethers! It’s made with just a few ingredients like grapefruit juice or ginger ale and tequila that you can find at most liquor stores, as well as fresh strawberries for a touch of sweetness. The ginger beer adds another layer of flavor that goes amazingly well with both the tequila and the grapefruit juice.

You’ll also need a muddler or wooden spoon to break down the strawberries into smaller pieces.

The first thing you will need to do is pour the grapefruit juice, ginger beer or ginger ale and tequila into a bowl. Next, add the chopped strawberries and allow them to sit in the bowl for at least five minutes. Use a muddler or a wooden spoon to break down the strawberries. Pour liquid through a strainer and into a glass with ice. Enjoy!

Easy to make and enjoyable for everyone, these frozen Strawberry Ginger Palomas are perfect for summer. The sweet and sour taste of the strawberry syrup is the perfect complement to the spicy ginger beer, tequila, and lemon juice. If you’re looking for a new cocktail to enjoy this summer, try making one of these palomas!

You’ll need:

• 2 ounces tequila blanco
• 1 ounce lemon juice
• 1 ounce strawberry syrup (recipe below)
• 1 ounce ginger beer (recipe below)

For the Strawberry Syrup: Combine 1 cup of fresh strawberries, 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes or until the berries are soft. If it’s too thick, add more water/juice until desired consistency is achieved. Allow to cool completely before using. The mixture will thicken as it cools.

Ginger Beer: Combine 2 cups of water, 1/4 cup of grated ginger root and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a large pitcher or jar. Cover and let it sit overnight at room temperature. Strain out the solids and discard them before adding 1 tablespoon of sugar per 8 ounces of water. Chill until it’s ready to serve (you can also keep this in the fridge for up to 3 days). Use a mat to make sure you don’t make a mess.
