Paloma

Mexico’s most refreshing cocktail, the Paloma is like a Margarita’s laid-back, bubbly cousin. Made with tequila, grapefruit soda (or fresh grapefruit juice and soda water), lime, and a pinch of salt, it’s bright, citrusy, and effortlessly refreshing. While the Margarita gets all the fame, the Paloma is the real local favorite—crisp, slightly bitter, and dangerously easy to drink. Whether you’re poolside or just dreaming of it, the Paloma delivers instant sunshine in a glass.
