Ingredients
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup water

- 1 cup lime juice fresh squeezed (from approximately 8 limes) or 100% lime juice
Instructions
Simple Syrup
- In a medium saucepan, add sugar and water over medium heat. Whisk to combine, stirring frequently until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Paloma Mix
- Add simple syrup to a large pitcher or bottle. Add grapefruit juice and lime juice. Stir or seal and shake.
Notes
- A standard grapefruit will produce about 3/4 cup of juice. Plan on 6 grapefruits to get the 4 cups needed for this recipe.
- Similarly, plan on about 8 limes to produce 1 cup lime juice.
- If you're substituting with bottled grapefruit juice and lime juice, be sure to choose a brand that is 100% juice, with no added sugar.
- Want it a little less sweet? Add a little club soda. For a sweeter cocktail, add more grapefruit juice or a sparkling soda like FeverTree sparkling grapefruit.
