Who likes grapefruit? I have always loved it, but Dane stands firmly in the “no thank you” when it comes to this citrusy-tart fruit. When ABSOLUT asked me if I wanted to partner to recreate their Swedish Paloma Grapefruit Cocktail it was an absolute no brainer! This grapefruit-based cocktail is refreshing and light with the perfect amount of zing and I love the addition of bubbles. This is the ideal summer drink or anytime-of-the-year-drink if you live in Hawaii 🙂 Now, let’s get this cocktail party started…!

Swedish Paloma Grapefruit Cocktail

First things first, in addition to the ingredients below, you’ll need a shaker to mix everything in + a high ball glass to pour. I used a mason jar and it worked great!

For the Swedish Paloma Grapefruit Cocktail you will need:

2 shots ABSOLUT Grapefruit
2 shots grapefruit juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
grapefruit wedge to garnish

1. Mix ABSOLUT Grapefruit, grapefruit juice and lime juice in a shaker with ice.
2. Pour over ice in a high ball glass.
3. Top with lime sparkling water and add a grapefruit garnish.
