Faux Paloma
During the holidays, we received a bottle of butterfly pea serum and improvised a “Faux Paloma” using tequila, agave syrup, lime juice, grapefruit seltzer, and butterfly pea serum. The drink had a pleasant color, and it can be easily customized for sweetness and yields two servings from a 12 oz. can of seltzer.
