Fresh & simple Ginger Beer Paloma Cocktails – a classic drink with a fiery, ginger beer twist
This cocktail is so simple and sooo delicious. Though in fairness I think I’d have a hard time disliking anything make with ginger beer (or tequila).
The combination is simple enough. These are just classic Paloma cocktails, but with ginger beer instead of club soda. You need
Ginger Beer
Tequila (100% agave)
Fresh Grapefruit Juice
Fresh Lime Juice
Agave (or you can sub it with honey/simple syrup)
Salt for your rim
Just salt your rim, mix your juices, sweetener and tequila and top off with ginger beer. So easy and so fresh!
In case you too are in need of a little extra TLC, I hope you enjoy!

That’s a big drink — I started with a cute glass like you had in the photo but had to switch to a pint glass. At least 3/4 cup liquid, plus ice. This could be 2 drinks! Pretty delicious!
Sarah says
You are so right! I don’t know why I put one – thanks for pointing that out to me! Thanks Bridget!
