Thyme Blood Orange Paloma Cocktail Recipe

It’s time to make this Thyme Blood Orange Paloma Cocktail Recipe.

Why? To toast a weekend away. I’m heading south to Los Cabos for a girls weekend that I’m hoping involves nothing more than some surf, sand, and lots of guac and tequila. My older sister, Ivy, has a love for all things tequila, but she has a special place in her heart for the Paloma cocktail.

She was the first one to introduce me to this simplest of classic Mexcian cocktail combinations of lime, Fresca, and tequila. I now make it my mission to try every version I encounter in attempts to find my favorite.

While there’s no denying that a classic Paloma is a thing of beauty, I’ve had a fun time changing up the juices and flavoring the salt (which, PS, is an absolutely essential addition to the drink). This latest version with Blood Orange soda and crushed thyme is a bit swankier but just the sort of thing to toast an impromptu weekend away.

Go stock up on all your cooking essentials then head into the kitchen, make this, and share it with us by tagging @saltandwind and #swsociety on social!
