Paloma Spritz with IMPOSTER Tequila

Sparkling grapefruit • amaro alternative • rosemary

Blush Paloma Spritz in a wine glass with grapefruit and rosemary on a dark wood table

Paloma Spritz brings an amaro alternative into the grapefruit-and-Tequila combination. Its half-ounce of Lucano Amaro Alternative makes this a different formula from the citrus-sour Paloma, even though both use grapefruit. Combine IMPOSTER Tequila with the alternative before adding sparkling grapefruit and the club-soda finish over ice. Grapefruit and rosemary provide the source garnish. This version suits an early-evening menu where a wine-glass spritz is useful beside shorter shaken drinks. Confirm the exact amaro-alternative product and its label; the word alternative alone does not verify the finished drink's alcohol content or make a conventional amaro an equivalent replacement.

Why This Works With IMPOSTER Tequila

The Tequila base provides an agave-inspired direction, sparkling grapefruit supplies fruit and bubbles, and the named amaro alternative adds another flavor component. Club soda is a final top-up, not a replacement for the measured grapefruit mixer.

Serving Notes

Keep both carbonated ingredients out of a shaker and add club soda last.

The source does not specify a club-soda volume. Confirm it for the chosen glass before scaling up.

Variations and Substitutions

Without rosemary garnish

Omit the sprig if unavailable, retaining the grapefruit wedge.

A different Paloma

Use the separate Paloma recipe for a citrus-sour version without the amaro alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ordinary amaro?

That is not the named source ingredient and can change alcohol content and flavor. Confirm the exact Lucano alternative before approving the recipe.

Is the soda top-up included in the 4 oz grapefruit?

No. The source lists 4 oz sparkling grapefruit and a separate club-soda top-up without a measured volume.

Is Paloma Spritz alcohol-free?

IMPOSTER Tequila is a zero-proof spirit-inspired base. Check the current labels for the exact Lucano Amaro Alternative and the sparkling mixers before describing the entire finished drink as alcohol-free.
