Paloma - something I can't drink because of the grapefruit juice. I take a couple of medications that prohibit drinking grapefruit juice even though I love it. :(

A friend of mine came up with what we called the "Three Mile Island Margarita." Ok, so it has been a few years ago. :)

Stout and not for the squeamish. Straight forward: 2 shots gold tequila (we used Jose Cuervo); 1 shot triple sec & 1 shot of Rose's Lime Juice. Shake well & serve over a couple of ice cubes with a salted rim. Simple to remember once you get to the third or fourth batch. :p I like margaritas several different ways and you will likely not find any two bars that make them exactly the same way.

@Fin When you used to be able to drink them, did you top it with sprite or soda water?
I'm sorry, I missed this. I have never made one, to be honest. I haven't had any grapefruit juice in about 40 years. So, I avoid drinks with them too. A lot of the tiki drinks have grapefruit juice in them, so I don't make those.

The recipes I have seen for Palomas call for topping off with grapefruit soda. The drink has lime and grapefruit and the sprite would introduce lemon (and lime). I tend to follow recipes, so I would probably look for some grapefruit soda (like Crush Grapefruit), or make my own at home with fresh grapefruit juice, sugar and soda water. I guess I didn't answer your question after all of that. Ha! How do you like them? That is what is important.

-tequila
-Grapefruit juice
-Simple syrup
-Fresh lime

I’ll accept it at a restaurant with tequila grapefruit and sprite because most places don’t have simple. But I don’t like. carbonated beverages.

Can you drink squirt???

Every bar should have simple syrup. It is the easiest bar syrup there is to make (or cheap to buy). I don't know about the Squirt. I haven't tried it. I won't like drop dead or anything, but grapefruit juice inhibits your body's ability to metabolize some drugs, causing them to be less effective and also allowing them to build up in your system. Since it is blood pressure medicine and important to maintain proper levels, I don't tempt fate. :)
