Cocktail Recipe: Valoma
May 6th, 2009
What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with a delicious cocktail? Seriously, give me a cocktail with vodka and citrus, and I’ll be happy.
This recipe is a take on the classic tequila cocktail Paloma. But I didn’t want or have tequila, so I used vodka. If you want to make this cocktail a little more foodie, use key limes.
Valoma

Ingredients
1 1/2 oz vodka
1 1/2 oz fresh lime juice (or key lime juice)
2 oz sparkling grapefruit juice (such as Izze)
