Customize Your Paloma

• Fresh Grapefruit Version: Use fresh grapefruit juice and top with soda water for a less sweet, more natural version.

• Spicy Paloma: Muddle a few slices of jalapeño in the glass before adding the ingredients.

• Frozen Paloma: Blend the ingredients with ice for a slushy-style drink.

The Paloma is a refreshing Mexican cocktail made with tequila and grapefruit soda. It's tangy, bubbly, and easier to drink than many strong cocktails. It's perfect for summer events, weddings, or casual backyard parties.
