Despite its Mexican origin, Paloma is popular all around the world. Paloma is a thirst-quenching tequila-based cocktail. This sophisticated drink is infused with grapefruit soda such as squirt for a refreshing blast. It is easy to make and very delicious. We have innovated a Galaxy Gas Nitrous Recipe: Paloma with Grapefruit Foam by using freshly squeezed grapefruit juice instead of the squirt. Here we have adopted an amazing way of incorporating grapefruit juice in the recipe – by turning the juice into a foam with Galaxy Gas Whipped Cream Dispenser and Galaxy Gas Whipped Cream Chargers. We have also added a little bit of sugary syrup to enhance the sweetness of the drink. By following this recipe, you can make the grapefruit foam for a number of several waver; the formula under “For the Paloma” makes only one serving of Paloma.
