Pisces Paloma Cocktail
Pisces Paloma Cocktail
This cocktail is inspired by the complex nature of a Pisces. Pisces is associated with winter fruits and bright citrus flavors. This drink has fizz, fun, sour notes, sweet highs and salty lows. The tequila is a cleanser while grapefruit is a purifier. Grapefruit has connections to the Moon, making it a perfect base for a New Moon or Full Moon ritual. The addition of lime to this cocktail is to incorporate protection and amplify the healing energy of this citrusy libation. The element compounds in this recipe are all rooted in Water, bringing in the cleansing flow with every sip. This is meant to lift your spirits as we find ourselves exiting winter and preparing for the start of the new astrological year.
