Recently I shared a summer cocktail recipe for a classic Paloma cocktail which I “garnished” with a Grapefruit Lime Paleta. These popsicles are easy to make and delicious as a cool summer treat or cocktail garnish.
Grapefruit Lime Paletas
While I initially intended for these pops to be nothing more than a delicious garnish, they ended up being so tasty and refreshing that I thought they deserved a post of their very own! I honestly couldn't stop eating them.
Pink grapefruit is one of those flavors that really sparkles when sugar is added, as does lime! The combination is simple and mouth puckeringly good. Puckeringly…is that a word? Well, it is now! And these pops are perfect for cooling down on a hot summer's day when you don't want a heavy sweet treat.
Or you could simply garnish your next cocktail with one of them. Either way, I hope you will give em' a try. Here's how to make them!
