STRAWBERRY CHAMOMILE PALOMAS
Summer in a glass and all it’s perfection. Packed with fruity flavors and a little fizz, these Strawberry Chamomile Palomas could not be easier to make.
Ingredients:
CHAMOMILE HONEY SYRUP
3/4 water
1/3 cup honey
1-2 chamomile tea bags
THE DRINK
3 oz. Fresh grapefruit juice (about half of 1 grapefruit)
2-4 Tablespoons chamomile honey syrup depending on your taste
2 oz. Tequila
4 Fresh strawberries sliced
Sparkling water for topping off
Crushed ice
Directions:
CHAMOMILE HONEY SYRUP
Combine water and honey in a small saucepan and bring to a low boil, simmer 1 minute and remove from the heat. Add the tea bag, cover and steep for 5-10 minutes. Remove the tea bag and allow the syrup to cool completely. Store in the fridge.
FOR THE DRINK
Add the grapefruit juice, chamomile syrup, tequila and strawberries to a glass. Use a muddler (or even the end of a rolling pin), gently push the strawberries down until they release their juices and are lightly smashed. Add a handful of ice and then add sparkling water to top off. Give the drink a gentle stir. Taste and add more chamomile syrup if desired. Garnish with fresh chamomile flowers and strawberries if desired.
