Okay guys, this might be my favorite cocktail to date! I don't know about you, but I am a BIG fan of palomas. My honest take? I might just like them better than margs! I've always been more of a vodka than tequila girl, but have had my fair share of margs. But honestly a paloma tastes much fresher and crisp to me. And this one?! It's so freaking good! It's giving me allll the Christmas vibes. The cranberry, pomegrante and grape fruit juice combined with a splash of ginger beer really makes it amazing. Whether you've had a Paloma or not before, I promise this one's gonna make you love them. I highly recommend not skimping out on the pomegrante arils, because it adds the BEST pop of sweetness in my opinion. It's the perfect cocktail to serve up for all your Christmas activities! Having a crowd? Making a pitcher! Easy peasey And all you have to do is top with ginger. :) I might would recommend the pitcher regardless, you're going to be wanting more than one of these for sure! Joking, but actually pretty serious haha!
