Notes
  • This recipe is lovingly dedicated to my friend Sofi, who introduced me to the magic of Paloma cocktails.
  • Many thanks to Mosaiko cocktail bar for their support and the beautiful background  of this photo.
  • I love 3 cents pink grapefruit soda.
  • Make it lighter using sugar-free soda.
  • Use himalayan salt. It has a a pinkish tint and gives a slightly smoky finish.
