PALOMA

Method

1. Add 1.5 oz Tequila (or Mezcal) and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice to a highball or Collins glass.
2. Add 1.5 oz zero-proof agave spirit alternative (or skip the spirit entirely) and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice to a highball or Collins glass.
3. Fill the glass completely with ice.
4. Top with 4–6 oz Top Hat Sparkling Grapefruit Soda, poured slowly down the side to preserve carbonation.
5. Give one gentle stir to integrate.
6. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge and fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

3. Add 1.5 oz Top Hat Ruby Go Wild Paloma Concentrate.
4. Add ¼ oz fresh lime juice if desired (optional — the concentrate has citrus built in).
5. Fill the glass completely with ice.
6. Top with 5 oz Top Hat Premium Club Soda or fresh sparkling water from your soda maker. Pour slowly down the side.
7. Give one gentle stir to integrate.
8. Garnish with sliced citrus, fresh herbs, or both. Serve immediately.

Pro move: Run a lime wedge around the rim and dip it in Tajín or sea salt before building — the salty-spicy rim is a game-changer against the bright grapefruit. Swap tequila for mezcal for a smoky Paloma variation.

Pro move: Add the concentrate before the soda water so the carbonation helps integrate it. If using a soda maker, carbonate the water first and pour it in — never add concentrate to the soda maker bottle. Ruby Go Wild has ruby red grapefruit and hibiscus built in, so the lime is optional — taste first, then add if you want more acidity.
