How to Make a Blood Orange Paloma
- Start by squeezing the juice from the blood oranges into a small container; you can strain out the pulp or seeds if you want. Store the juice until you’re ready to use it.
- When you’re set to mix, grab each glass and pour 2 oz of tequila over ice. Add ¼ cup of fresh blood orange juice to each glass. Finish it off by topping each glass with chilled 7UP.
- Don’t forget the finishing touch! Garnish each glass with a lime wedge, and your refreshing drink is ready to be served. Cheers!
