Blanco Paloma

Blanco rum stands in for tequila — long, bittersweet, sea-salt rim.

Build

  1. Rim a highball glass with coarse sea salt; fill with fresh ice.
  2. Shake rum, grapefruit, lime, and syrup with ice.
  3. Strain into the prepared glass.
  4. Top with club soda; garnish with a grapefruit wedge.

Coconut Cartel's Paloma swap: the Blanco rum replaces blanco tequila. Fresh grapefruit and lime get balanced with agave; club soda lengthens; coarse sea salt on the rim signs it off. Shake everything except the soda, strain over fresh ice, top, drink slowly.
