Hey there, Y’all! As Valentine’s Day gets closer I’m sure you’re starting to think about what you’re going to do to celebrate! I know some of y’all will be celebrating like me, on the couch in your PJ’s! (Zach and I would probably celebrate this way even if he was home!) And I have no doubt those of you who are able to spend the Day of Love with your love will! No matter how you’re celebrating there’s ONE thing you can’t skip! GALENTINE’S! Your girls are their for you all year long, so you have to celebrate your love for them too! And I’ve got the LOVELIEST cocktail recipe to share with you and your girls!
Ladies, allow me to introduce…
The Pretty Paloma
I loooooove a Paloma, it’s one of my “go to” drinks so when I had the opportunity to work with 21 Seeds Tequila on this project I knew instantly that I wanted to share one of my all time, favorite cocktails, the Paloma with you!
the ingredients :
The main ingredient is Tequila, so selecting the right one is key to this drink turning out perfectly! Especially since there’s only three ingredients, you want each one to be high quality! I’m using 21Seeds Grapefruit Hibiscus tequila. 21Seeds is an all-natural, real fruit infused tequila that is gluten free, keto friendly and non-GMO! And since the flavor is infused using real fruits, there’s no need to add a bunch of sugary, processed mixers and syrups, resulting in a not so bad for you cocktail!
Next you’ll need some grapefruit flavored soda, seltzer or soda water. You can use whatever brand you want here! I will say I do prefer my Pretty Paloma made with seltzer water over soda, just because it produces a lighter drink, and since my 21Seeds Tequila is already infused with grapefruit and hibiscus, I don’t need to add much flavoring to my cocktail anyways!
Ice because who likes a warm cocktail? Nobody, that’s who.
And lastly a little bit of Cotton Candy! This is what makes it so “pretty.”
to make :
This drink is a breeze to make! Just pour ice about 2/3 of the way up your glass, 1.5 ounces of 21 Seeds Tequila over the ice, and then fill the rest of your glass up with the seltzer water or soda. Drop a little pinch of cotton candy in at the end and stir. Garnish if you’d like. And drink up! That’s it!
I choose 21Seeds Tequila for my bar cart because it is a WBENC certified company, meaning it is female-owned AND female-run! And because this real-fruit infused tequila makes such an easy, and delicious drink! I hope you all have a blast celebrating the love and support that you and your girls give each other on Galentine’s day!
