Paloma Negra is a reinterpretation of the classic Paloma cocktail in modern bar culture. Paloma has long been one of Mexico's most popular cocktails, known for its refreshing combination of tequila and grapefruit flavor. But in the modern mixology world, bartenders like to reinterpret these classic recipes with different twists. Paloma Negra is the result of this approach.

The name "negra" or "black" comes from the darker and more mysterious appearance of the cocktail. Some bars achieve this effect with dark syrups, charcoal powder or special bitters. The aim is not only to change the color, but also to give the cocktail a deeper character. The freshness of citrus and the strong structure of tequila combine to create a drink that is both fresh and strong.
