Notes
A Paloma typically involves grapefruit and sugar in some form, along with tequila. Here, I've swapped out the tequila for vodka and minimized the fuss-factor by using a good-quality grapefruit soda in lieu of grapefruit juice + simple syrup + club soda. Easy peasy and oh-so-refreshing...and a gorgeous pink hue, to boot!
