Ingredients

Ginger Simple Syrup

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 pieces ginger peeled
  • 1 sprig mint optional

For the Ginger Beer Paloma

  • 2 wedges grapefruit divided
  • kosher salt
  • 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1/2 ounce lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce Ginger Simple Syrup
  • 2 oz tequila
  • 2 oz ginger beer
  • 1 sprig mint for garnish

Instructions

Make the Ginger Simple Syrup

  • Combine water, sugar, and ginger in a saucepan and boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sugar dissolves, about 3-4 minutes. Cool completely.

Make the Ginger Beer Paloma

  • Take 1 wedge of grapefruit and rub the rim of a highball cocktail glass, and dip it into kosher salt. Drop the wedge into the glass, and add the grapefruit juice, lime juice, and ginger simple syrup. Stir in the tequila. Add ice and top off with ginger beer. Garnish with the remaining grapefruit wedge and a sprig of mint, if desired. Sip and enjoy!
