It was so good I kept taking a sip every few minutes until all of a sudden it was gone and I was sad. I tried this marg while making dinner last night and before I even knew it, I'd drank the whole can. ![]() This margarita from Two Chicks is right there at the top and should not be missed!

So, was it worth the all that anticipation? In a word - YES! Here is my official review of the Two Chicks margarita : After months of keeping my eye out for these cute cans, I finally scored one.

The store-bought stuff just isn't the same! However, in a pinch, you can use store-bought grapefruit juice to make a Paloma. There's no comparison to the taste of freshly-squeezed citrus juice, so it should always be your first choice. We love the addition of lime for acidity and a more complex citrus flavor.ĭoes the grapefruit juice have to be fresh? For this latter approach, if you like a sweeter cocktail, you may want to add a dash of simple syrup or agave nectar. You can use any grapefruit flavored soda, like fresca or even Squirt, but it tastes equally as great with a mix of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and sparkling water. ![]() Traditionally, a Paloma cocktail is made with tequila blanco and grapefruit flavored soda, like Jarritos de Toronja. Pro tip: Go ahead and dip the rim of the glass in salt if that's your jam! Whether a Cinco de Mayo fiesta or a fun tacos for Taco Tuesday, just whip up a batch of Palomas to serve with a spread of Mexican food!
