Pomegranate Ginger Paloma.
To kick things off, I’m starting with one of my favorite drinks of the bunch. This Paloma is all things Holiday…and it’s perfection…fizzy, minty, gingery, full of sweet pomegranate, and um tequila too! Perfect drink to mix up for any holiday party.
The simple syrup makes enough for at least four drinks, but can easily be doubled, or tripled, for a large batch of drinks. My special Christmas touch to these drinks though?
Ginger beer is not traditional in Palomas, but it's so much better than using club soda and adds a killer ginger flavor, which just screams the holidays!
