This frozen paloma cocktail uses bourbon instead of tequila

Frozen Paloma

Grapefruit and lemon make this citrusy adults-only slushie made bourbon whiskey the perfect summer treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 ruby red grapefruit peel removed
  • 1 large lemon peel removed
  • cup Bourbon Whiskey
  • ½ cup sparkling pink grapefruit soda
  • cup agave syrup or honey
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt or sea salt
  • 6 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 3 cups ice
  • mint for garnish
  • sliced grapefruit wheel for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a blender, purée grapefruit, lemon, Bourbon Whiskey, grapefruit soda, agave, salt and Angostura bitters until smooth. Add ice and purée until smooth. Pour into a shallow casserole dish and freeze until slushy, about 2 hours.
  • Divide among glasses and garnish with mint and grapefruit, adding more grapefruit soda for a loose sipping slushie.

Notes

Tip: Reduce the work of squeezing and straining citrus by peeling, chopping and throwing it all in a blender. And don’t forgo the salt – it enhances the grapefruit flavour.
