PALOMA
PALOMA
The Paloma is a refreshing, tangy cocktail that's hugely popular in Mexico and loved around the world for its simplicity and incredible flavor. This cocktail combines tequila with the zesty taste of grapefruit soda, a squeeze of lime, and often a salted rim, making it the perfect balance of citrusy tartness and a hint of sweetness. The Paloma is lighter than a margarita and ideal for sipping on a hot day. It’s a versatile drink that’s easy to adjust to your preference—just add more or less soda depending on how strong you like it.
