Notes

If you prefer to serve the easy Paloma recipe with a salt rim, you can learn how to rim a glass in this post.

Use large ice cubes to slow dilution.

Do not shake the sparkling water in the cocktail shaker with the rest of the ingredients! Top off the drink with the carbonated ingredient after you've strained it into a glass over fresh ice.
