Paloma is the most popular tequila based cocktails in Mexico. It so refreshing with perfect balance of sweet, bitter and salty.

Slice the grapefruit in half widthwise. Juice one half of the fruit and set aside. Cut the other half into 1/2" slices.
Spread kosher salt onto a small plate and shake to create an even layer of salt.
Run one of the grapefruit slices along the rim of the glass, then dip the glass into the salt to create a salt rim. Fill the glass with ice and set aside.

Raspberry, Lime and Tequila Cocktails
Ingredients:
8 raspberries
1 teaspoon honey (I prefer a light honey, such as clover)
Juice of 1/2 lime

Cold sparkling water
Place raspberries, honey and lime juice in a small measuring cup. Muddle mixture until raspberries release their juices. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing down on solids to remove all liquid. Add mint leaves to the strained mixture and muddle to release mint fragrance. Pour mixture over ice and top with tequila and sparkling water.
