Rum is also the base spirit in Demi Natoli’s Sitting Pretty, a can’t-wait-until-summer tropical highball that enhances the burst of citrus from Fever-Tree’s Sparkling Pink Grapefruit soda with fresh lime, mint and coconut.

And the standard grapefruit juice is replaced with a full three ounces of Fever-Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit soda, resulting in an elevated, bittersweet long drink. The drink starts with a small-batch Panamanian white rum, which Chu likes for its “banana-y” notes and swaps out the standard dose of maraschino liqueur for a splash of rich Luxardo cherry syrup, which helps balance the sour component from the lime.

Chu reflects on the rough times we’re all going through now and considers the chronicles of the challenges the often-troubled writer experienced in his own lifetime. All of these modifications still hew to the uncomplicated nature of the drink while showcasing its versatility.įanny Chu’s Hemingway Hi Ball riffs on the key components of a Hemingway Daiquiri, first created in honor of the celebrated American author at Havana’s El Floridita in the 1930s. The following drinks all take inspiration from the Paloma, and maintain the essential components of the bubbly, bittersweet and slightly savory original, but reimagine it with gin or rum, pantry staples like sugar, salt and honey, mint, fresh citrus, melon and the occasional chile pepper. “The first sip tastes like an effervescent juicy grapefruit and it has the perfect balance of bitterness sweetness.” Fittingly, the soda features handpicked pink Florida grapefruits sweetened with naturally sourced sugar and fruit sugars, providing a balanced, bubbly base to complement spirits across the spectrum. “What I love about Fever-Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit soda is the beautiful pink color-it looks like I sliced a big grapefruit in half,” says Fanny Chu, head bartender at the Brooklyn bar Donna. To prove how easy it is to put one’s own personal stamp on the drink, we asked five of our Bartender in Residence alumni to reconsider the Paloma using Fever-Tree’s newly released Sparkling Pink Grapefruit soda. As the popularity of the Paloma has increased, so has the quality of ingredients and mixers used to make it, including the grapefruit soda that gives the drink its distinctive pop.

This tequila-based long drink rivals the Margarita in popularity, and shares an adaptable template of agave spirit, lime juice and a citrus accent, but rather than triple sec, the Paloma gets a fizzy, bittersweet kick from grapefruit soda, or a combination of grapefruit juice and soda water. But as warm and sunny spring days offer a sneak peek of summer, many of us are longing for a drink that’s emblematic of drinking outside, even if we’re drinking it inside. Not being able to hang out at our favorite bars for the foreseeable future has inspired many to take the time to step up their at-home cocktail game, whether it’s perfecting their shaking technique or batching a bottle of ice-cold Martinis for a proper 5 o’clock cocktail hour.
