If you're looking for a delicious virgin alternative to a traditional paloma, try our non-alcoholic version! Our alcohol-free paloma is made with strawberry and pomelo for a fresh twist that's pretty pink. This refreshing drink is a perfect alcohol-free option for Valentine's Day or any spring or summer party.
Juice your pomelo by cutting it in half and using a small knife to slice around the fruit inside each section and lifting it out with a spoon. Similar to how you section a halved grapefruit (we demonstrate this in our video).
Squeeze any excess juice out of the leftover rind into a dish with the pomelo segments.
Put the pomelo segments and any pomelo juice into a small blender or NutriBullet and pulse until it is broken down into juice and pulp.
Pour this through a wire mesh strainer to remove the pulp and seeds.
To a highball glass, add 3 ice cubes and 3 ounces of pomelo juice.
Stir in the grapefruit soda, Ritual tequila alternative, lime juice, and a splash of Rose's strawberry simple syrup. Adjust the amount of lime juice depending on how sweet or tart your chosen grapefruit soda is.
Serve immediately garnished with a slice of lime.

Notes
*You can adjust the amount of lime juice based on how sweet your grapefruit soda is. We used the Fever Tree grapefruit soda which is less sweet, so we used less lime juice. If you use a sweet soda like Squirt, you can add more lime juice to balance the sweetness.
