It’s been really humid lately, which is very uncharacteristic for LA, and I really hate it. Everything just feels so wet/moist and it’s the worst. I’ve been trying to keep cool in my apartment though and one of the ways I’m doing it is with these palomas. I love how refreshing this cocktail is and it only requires a few ingredients! It’s totally worth it to squeeze your own grapefruit juice from a couple of ripe grapefruits; it really makes a huge difference and doesn’t take much time to do.
These palomas are my light and refreshing cocktail of choice for this summer season. Do you guys have a go to drink for these hot summer days? I’d love to hear about it! Enjoy! xx, Jenny
