Salted Rosemary Paloma

The traditional grapefruit- and tequila-spiked Paloma is a balanced beacon of refreshment. This slightly savory, herbal and booze-free variation from Naren Young of Dante in New York City employs grapefruit juice rather than soda and a salted rosemary syrup. It takes no time to throw together, and like the original, the grown-up version benefits from tequila.
