Valencia Meets Pomelo - AVEC 21 Seeds Tequila

An easy to make, complex flavored Paloma AVEC 21 Seeds Tequila
March 25, 2021

We love cocktails that are simple, clean, and give us a taste of the tropics! Mix this perfect pairing of equal parts AVEC Grapefruit & Pomelo + 21Seeds Valencia Orange Tequila to make an effortless Paloma that clocks in at under 100 calories without sacrificing on taste! 

Sometimes when you are making cocktails having lots of ingredients is fun, but then there is other times when just keeping it simple, clean and easy is the way to go. Everyone loves a Paloma – but they’re stacked full of sugar and grapefruit juice can feel just a little too basic.

The AVEC Grapefruit & Pomelo takes its inspiration from Grapefruit juice, but without all the sugar and with way more interesting ingredients. Here we pair a ruby grapefruit juice with pomelo, bourbon vanilla, and black pepper to create a cleaner and well balanced alternative. The result is a naturally florally citrus pair with a touch of pith and light spice.

All of that balance comes without all the bad stuff. AVEC Grapefruit & Pomelo is only 15 calories and 3g of sugar compared to 88 calories/24 g of sugar in grapefruit juice

We pair a double shot (2oz) of 21Seeds Valencia Orange Tequila with Avec Grapefruit & Pomelo to create the perfect Paloma. 21Seeds Valencia Orange is a bright, clean, tropical and easy-to use fresh-fruit infused tequila this is 64 calories and 1g of sugar/1 carb per oz. This pairing results in a nearly no effort cocktail, that still feels like it was made with all the bells and whistles.
