Perfect Paloma Mocktails Juicy Tart (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 60 ml freshly squeezed grapefruit juice

02 - 30 ml freshly squeezed lime juice

03 - 15 ml maple syrup or preferred sweetener

04 - 1 ml (¼ teaspoon) apple cider vinegar or non-alcoholic tequila

05 - Pinch of sea salt

06 - 120 ml plain or grapefruit soda (optional)

07 - Salt or Tajin for glass rim (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Pour a small amount of salt or Tajin onto a shallow plate. Rub a lime or grapefruit wedge along the outer rim of the glass, then dip the moistened rim into the salt or Tajin and apply gentle pressure.

02 - Add grapefruit juice, lime juice, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt into a cocktail shaker. If unavailable, use a mason jar or any container with a secure lid.

03 - Add 3 to 4 ice cubes. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until the shaker feels cold and the mixture is thoroughly combined.

04 - Strain the beverage into a tumbler filled with fresh ice. Top with plain or grapefruit soda if desired. Garnish and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Maple syrup provides a natural sweetness, but honey syrup, simple syrup, Stevia, or monkfruit sweetener can be substituted.

02 - Apple cider vinegar imparts a pleasant acidity, while non-alcoholic tequila yields a more classic profile.

03 - Sparkling grapefruit soda, plain soda water, or lime sparkling water can be used for a bubbly finish.
