Unholy Paloma

Mixing red wine in a cocktail that is not a sangria? Yes, don’t knock it ’til you try it. Red wine can actually work well with other spirits. I mixed it with tequila and some fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice in this mocktail. I think the slight bitterness of grapefruit and the kick from the zero-proof tequila played really nice with the Pinot Noir in this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz NA Pinot Noir (I used @drinkwanderfound )
• 1.5 oz Tequila Alternative (I used @ritualzeroproof )
• 2 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice
• 0.5 oz Simple Syrup
• Juice of 1/2 Lime
• Grapefruit-flavored Sparkling Water
• Grapefruit wedge for garnish

Instructions:

1. Place all ingredients except for sparkling water and garnish in a shaker glass.
2. Add ice and shake for 8-10 seconds.
3. Strain into a highball glass with ice.
4. Top off with grapefruit-flavored sparkling water.
5. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge.

Cheers 🍹⚡️
