July 24th is National Tequila Day!  Woot!  Woot!  In preparation of the occasion I bought some beautiful Ruby Red grapefruits to make a Palomas.

2 oz. Fresh Squeezed Grapefruits
2 oz. Tequila
.5 oz. Simple Syrup
2 oz. Club Soda

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add the grapefruit juice, tequila and simple syrup.  Shake well and strain into a rocks glass.  Add club soda and stir.
Optional garnish – Kosher salt around the rim, mint and/or grapefruit wedge.  Cheers!
