Margaritas aren’t the only cocktail featuring tequila, even though it seems that way sometimes. The classic paloma also starts with tequila, but finishes with lime juice and grapefruit soda. Matt Bettinger, one of the founders of Hank’s Downtown Dive, presents this twist on that refreshing summer cocktail.
