Hi, why not using grapefruit juice instead of water (and scale down acids and sugar accordingly)? It would make the syrup even more flavourful! (anyway for my Paloma I used to add juice + carbonated water and sweeten it using oleo saccharum from the peels of the used fruits)
My absolute favorite Spring beverage. Fresh grapefruit, reposado tequila, finished with soda water. Don't have to be an excellent bartender to make a refreshing drink for sunny afternoons
Thank you Kevin for all the DYI projects. I do them all and find their invaluable to me behind the bar. The high quality finished product is delicious, cost effective and oh so impressive to the guest when I mention homemade. I’ve markedly increased my skill set and respect of my patrons thanks to you. Slainte!
I made something really similar for my palomas, but with pectinase clarified grapefruit juice instead of water, and some slightly different measures. Adding a couple drops of cardamom or rosemary essence is also really nice.
The Uncle Roger cameo was already playing in my head when you played it! It's always so cool to see that content creators watch other content creators.
Another great recipe Kevin, thank you so much. I subbed some of the water for the juice from the grapefruits and added a couple of drops of grapefruit essential oil (adaption inspiration from Darcy O'Neil at Art of Drink channel) . I batched 140gr of peels (4 grapefruits). Then made the syrup batch again with another 4 grapefruits and bought 12 more....... I'm living in Thailand and we don't see grapefruits so often (they have large pomellos), so I wont run out anytime soon. I bottled and froze the syrups. I have a carbonation cap CO2 set-up, so I diluted 195ml syrup with 1105ml water and carbonated it. I'm next going to try with Pectinex, chitosan and kieselsol clarification (Dave Arnold style) and run it through the spinzall centrifuge and see if I can super carbonate it. ;-)
any recommendations for an affordable scale for those tiny weights this recipe uses? I have something I use for baking but it can't do fractions of a gram accurately
Hey guys, great vid as always! I’ve done the recipe once and it is by far the best option for outstanding palomas The addition of rose water, msg and salt really make it stand out from store-bought options, especially where I live I’m planning on making one batch again and have a question: being a big lover of grapefruits, I do miss a slight bitter taste to it. Do you guys know a way to achieve it? Some additive of some kind maybe? Thanks in advance and keep posting great content! This channel really is a hidden gem and I’m very glad I found it
Hi! I am super glad you like the taste of this soda. Check out my homemade Orange Soda episode to see how to add some bitterness to the beverage. Thanks!
hey make an episode on edible rose petals. They can be made into candy with sugar similar to what you did on this ep. I would love to know how you would use them in cocktails and the like!
Hi Kevin 😊 I have two questions for you …how long can the product remain bottled? and why in the drink cost there are 7.6 grams of salt and in the recipe only 2 grams ? Thanks 💪🏼🍸
Your first time. I hope it was with someone special because you will always remember them. I remember one day drinking a Paloma with my wife and getting misty-eyed "ahh, Paloma 🥰" ... 🤨
Great video ! May i ask the question ? How many milliliters of soda water should be mixed with 30ml pink grapefruit syrup to make pink grapefruit soda.
Most likely for shelf-life. All of the other ingredients can be considered as quite long lasting and using juice would cut that by a large margin I'm guessing.
what would be the capacity for those soda bottles? in the video its mentioned that you add 30ml of syrup but i didnt see the bottle capacity, to get a rough idea of the ratio of syrup to soda water. Thanks.
They're 200ml, classic size of soda bottles from companies like Three Cents or Thomas Henry. I usually just remove the label (check out the Cocktail Hacks episode) and repurpose those.
Had to try this as it looks like a lot less work than the Grapefruit Ting recipe I normally use from Glen and Friends. Have to say I'm not a fan of solely using the peels though. In my household the vote was unanimously for the Glen and Friends Ting syrup recipe with adding in the grapefruit use to get some more grapefruit flavor to the soda. But then I also prefer my Paloma with grapefruit juice and soda instead of the pink soda's. Also not a fan of peeling with a peeler. Zesting takes much less pith. 20g of peel vs 4 grams of zest. Zest gives you much less of that "odd flavor" you get from blendering peel and it's filtered out with a simple strainer instead of going through the hassle of a cheese cloth. If you really want to base the measurements to two decimals on the weight of the peel then it will depend a lot on how much pith you take with the peeler or not. Zesting is much more reliable. I base my measurements on number of grapefruits though. We also leave it as a syrup instead of diluting it with water and creating a bunch of bottles that take up fridge space. I get the visual appeal though. Looks cute.

20g sugar over the course of an entire day…not that much at all? Besides, surely you’re not worried about sugar intake if you’re already drinking booze…
I love grapefruit but I'm on sertraline!!! 😢 This will be the first thing I'll make after I'll be done with it. People, remember to sterilize your bottles if you plan to store your soda!
He put lime juice in, but no grapefruit juice. Anyway, juice is a much later addition to the Paloma anyway. It was originally just tequila and grapefruit soda before the fresh juice bartenders decided to change it in the 2000s. Now people think there should be juice in a Paloma. Oh well 🤷♂️
@@thisisntmeitssomeperson i deeply appreciate your reply and of course there's always the fact that i haven't tried the gentleman's version, logically speaking i can't imagine the first experiment he done did not include the juice, as i feel the addition of the juice of the drink your advertising is common sense i would at least expect attempt at an explanation
@@rajinder2k4 There are some other cocktails with soda which people have more recently decided to put juice in. One that comes to mind is the Pimm’s Cup. While there are variations using ginger beer, older recipes call for sparkling “lemonade”, which is closer to what non-Brits would call 7up or Sprite than a lemonade with actual juice in it. There’s also a number of non-juice fruit liqueurs used in drinks that are now often augmented with juice of the corresponding fruit
@@joelmarfori8097 It's the same with sugar. In everyfood is so much (too much) sugar and our tongues are used to it. We can't enjoy natural sweet things anymore. It has to be more and more sugar punched. You also see this in the bars and what people drink. Sugar, sugar and more sugar. I don't talk about health here, it's about the ability to taste. And now we have to add msg to enjoy a cocktail. There are so many flavors in a paloma. I like to make them with fresh grapefruit and lime juice. But once it's normal to add msg, fresh juice and a nice tequila will not be enough to be satisfied.
Fantastic video again! Wondering if you could substitute the water with the grapefruit juice 🤔... I guess you didn't do it for a more consistent flavour profile (?) Definitely makes sense in a commercial environment! I feel like paloma is popping of this year in Europe! Currently experimenting with a sparkling wine version 😋Keep it up!
