Ingredients

  • Cann Grapefruit Rosemary2mg - 1 can (2mg THC)
  • Fresh lime juice - 0.5 oz
  • Grapefruit juice - 2 oz
  • Flaky salt - For the rim (Kosher or Maldon, not table salt)
  • Lime wedge - 1 (For wetting the rim and garnishing)

Steps

  1. Run the lime wedge around the outside of the rim, then roll the outside only through the salt. Salting the inside dumps it all into the drink.
  2. Fill with ice, add the lime and grapefruit juice.
  3. Top with the can, poured slowly.
  4. Do not stir. Let the first sip be bright and the last be sweeter.

Why it works

A classic paloma leans on tequila for the earthy backbone. At two milligrams you get a faint version of that same herbal weight, which is why this works as a swap rather than tasting like something is missing. The salt is doing what it does in any paloma: suppressing bitterness so the grapefruit reads as fruit rather than pith.

Garnish: Lime wedge

Swaps

  • Any 2 to 2.5mg citrus can. Grapefruit-forward is best, but lime works.
