How to make a spicy grapefruit paloma

Paloma is usually made with carbonated drinks with grapefruit essences, but there is a healthier option.

Instead of using a carbonated drink bought from the store, BALKANSKA with grapefruit and fresh lime juice with sugar syrup soaked in chili is used.
To combine all the flavors, put on the edge of the cup a combination of coarse kosher salt and sugar. The fine sweetness of grapefruit juice, the tartness of lime juice and the spicy-sweet sugar syrup create the best well-balanced cocktail.
