The bitter flavor or grapefruit mixed with the bold flavor of tequila equal a surprisingly easy-drinking cocktail. In Mexico, the Paloma is actually preferred over margaritas! A traditional Paloma is made with grapefruit soda but we like this version that calls for fresh grapefruit juice. You won't be let down.

The Serrano Margarita is a kicked-up version of our classic favorite. Serrano peppers add heat that pairs oh so well with the cool, fresh lime juice. A sugared rim on this cocktail helps cut the spice.

The El Diablo combines the sweetness of blackberry from the cassis with the bold flavor of tequila. This cocktail is becoming more popular but remains still somewhat forgotten. We say, don't put this baby in the corner.

A sweeter version of the popular paloma, this recipe calls for honey simple syrup that adds another dimension. We say, nah nah honey you're good, you could have another and you probably should....
