COCKTAIL RECIPE
Paloma
Paloma is a classic Mexican cocktail with a fresh and citrusy character, made with a combination of tequila and grapefruit-flavored carbonated beverage.
The Paloma is one of Mexico's most popular and widespread cocktails. Many people around the world think of the Margarita when they think of tequila, but in Mexico the most popular tequila cocktail in everyday life is usually the Paloma.
Although the exact origin of the cocktail is unknown, most sources state that the Paloma originated in the 1950s. It is often said that the creation of this cocktail is linked to the famous bartender Don Javier Delgado Corona, who lived in the Guadalajara region. Don Javier is considered one of the key figures who contributed to the development of many tequila-based spirits.
The secret of Paloma's success lies in its simplicity. The slightly earthy and herbal character of Tequila combines with the fresh and slightly bitter flavor of grapefruit. Soda gives the drink a crisp and refreshing texture.
