If you’re ready to bring some sass and spice to your drink game, let me introduce you to the Frozen Spicy Paloma. This isn’t just any cocktail—this is a bold, flavor-packed fiesta in a glass that will make your taste buds dance.
I first tried a Paloma when I worked at La Esquina, a Mexican restaurant in NYC. The Paloma is a classic Mexican drink and a favorite of many.

Ingredients needed for Spicy Paloma
There’s two parts to this recipe. First you’ll make jalapeño syrup then the actual cocktail.
Jalapeño syrup: jalapeño, sugar and water is all you need.
Frozen Paloma: Jalapeño simple syrup, tequila, grapefruit juice, sparkling water, tajin.
How to make a frozen Paloma
To make the jalapeno syrup, combine jalapeños, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir until the sugar dissolves, then simmer for 10 minutes. Strain and cool. The syrup is the secret ingredient that takes this spicy Paloma to the next level. Sweet, spicy, and oh-so-irresistible, I want to put this syrup on literally everything.
For the Frozen Paloma, blend jalapeño syrup, tequila, grapefruit juice, and ice until smooth. The grapefruit juice adds a fresh, zesty punch, and when you blend it all with some tequila and ice, you get a frozen concoction that’s as cool as you are.
Rim a glass with tajin, pour in the cocktail, and top with sparkling water. Drink responsibly and enjoy!
