Rhubarb Paloma

An elevated take on a classic tequila cocktail.

At Current Charcoal Grill in Birmingham, Alabama, bar manager Kendall Salgado makes a classic tequila cocktail even more summery with the addition of a favorite seasonal ingredient. “It hits those strikingly familiar notes of a classic Paloma that people know and love, but it’s a bit brighter, crisper, and layered with light notes of rhubarb,” she says.

  • 1 oz. rhubarb liqueur
  • 3/4 oz. fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
  • 4 drops of 20% saline solution
  • Sparkling water, to top
  • Tools:shaker, strainer
  • Glass:Collins
  • Garnish:mint sprig
