Low Calorie Paloma

When my girlfriends and I want to enjoy a Paloma cocktail without the guilt, this low-calorie Skinny Paloma Cocktail recipe is our go-to! With just three simple ingredients, you and your friends will be enjoying this drink in no time! I love this recipe because it has just 115 calories, 85 fewer than a classic Paloma, which contains 200 calories!

Ingredients

This skinny paloma is made with a splash of tequila, lime juice (freshly squeezed is best), and grapefruit-flavored sparkling water to add delicious fruity flavor and make it taller.

How to Make a Skinny Paloma

  1. Shake the cocktail shaker with ice, tequila, and lime juice. Be sure to leave out the sparkling water to avoid any mess.
  2. Pour the cocktail into the glass, top it off with the bubbly finish, and garnish with a slice of grapefruit or rosemary for a fancy touch. Enjoy!

Make a Skinny Paloma Pitcher

When I want to prep enough of this skinny Paloma to serve 8, I mix 1 ½ cups of tequila with 1 cup of lime juice in a pitcher with a few ice cubes. Then, I pour some of it over ice and top each glass with 6 ounces of grapefruit soda or sparkling water. Depending on the type of soda or sparkling water you use, you might want to add some sugar-free cocktail syrup to make it sweeter.
