My Maternal Grandmother (we called her Grandmommy) used to tell us old family stories about Scotland, teach us 1950's table manners, help us to skip lunch in favor of a three-course dinner, (just have a tic-tac) and bend our taste buds towards unsweetened grapefruit juice. It worked! This Paloma is both grapefruit-y and refreshing (read, bracing) in the best way possible. You can make it with tequila or gin. I chose the former. No sugar added at all! Grandmommy would approve.
"Ruby red is my favorite grapefruit for the color, but use any grapefruit variety you like."
Notes: Roll lime and grapefruit prior to juicing.
