Paloma for National Grapefruit Month #FoodieExtravaganza

I'd like to introduce to you Paloma, cousin of Margarita.  Made with Tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, simple syrup and club soda, served on the rocks in a salted rim glass.  I think I may prefer this over the popular Margarita.....I've always been a sucker for underdogs.  Cheers!!!

The Foodie Extravaganza Gang are celebrating National Grapefruit Month.......

Cam of Culinary Cam is hosting this fun group that celebrates National Food Holidays on the first Wednesday of each month.  Cam advised that February is National Grapefruit Month and invited us to share our best Grapefruit recipes.

Let's take a look at what everyone made........

• Charred Grapefruit Gin & Tonic by Culinary Cam
• Grapefruit Chaat Salad Bowl by Sneha's Recipe
• Grapefruit Panna Cotta by Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Paloma by A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Thai Salad Yam Sam O by Pandemonium Noshery

Full Disclosure, I had originally made a Sea Breeze for today's event but, while writing the post, discovered that I had shared that recipe with you back in 2017.  So you know what that meant with the post going live first thing tomorrow morning?  Yep.....Day Drinking.

Luckily, my brother stopped by to visit so I popped him open a PBR and made Palomas for me and Frank.  Frank had a second one, however, I still had to make dinner tonight so I stopped at one.  It was delicious.
