Top Your Fresh Fruit With Apple Brandy

Add Lemonade and Place Into a Cooler Overnight

After the apple brandy comes two ounces of lemonade. Now it's time to tightly twist the lid onto the jars and place them in the cooler to chill overnight. This will allow the fruit to infuse the brandy and lemonade and vice versa.

Top Off Your Mexican Lager With Tequila

Now that you've made room, add tequila to your liking. We recommend around half an ounce. For a smokier Paloma, swap out tequila with your favorite mezcal.

Fill the Bottle to the Top With Fresh-Squeezed Grapefruit Juice

Once you've added the tequila, fill the bottle the rest of the way with grapefruit juice. For the best Paloma experience, squeeze your own grapefruit at home and bring it along in a sealed container.
