For a change of pace from the everyday margarita, try the Paloma, which is like a margarita with bubbles. This drink from the general manager of Chicago’s Salud Tequila Lounge (now closed) lets the sweetness of the tequila take center stage.
What to buy: Any 100 percent agave reposado tequila will do the trick.
A grapefruit soda like Squirt would work well in this cocktail.
