The Paloma is a fresh cocktail featuring the award winning VIVIR Tequila Blanco! This delightful cocktail is perfect for a hot summer day. By blending fresh lime juice and pink grapefruit juice it gives an energizing experience, with the sweetness of agave nectar used to control the bitterness of the grapefruit juice. Agave nectar is often used in cocktails as a natural sweetener. It harmonises perfectly with the tequila, as both are agave based products.
For us, the Paloma has a difficulty rating of 4/10. Whilst only having a handful of ingredients and a straightforward process, the agave nectar may be difficult for some to source. You may want to substitute the agave nectar for honey or simple syrup.
We served the Paloma in a highball glass over ice. The grapefruit juice and lime juice give an awesome orange colour, and when topped with soda water, it produces a gorgeous gradient (which can then be mixed together). We decided to garnish the Paloma with a simple grapefruit wedge to add some dimension to the drink.
We will also have more cocktail recipes featuring VIVIR Tequila Blanco coming up on the Tipsy with Tyreek blog. If you’re feeling adventurous you should try the VIVIR Tequila Marble Queen or if you need a classic, try the VIVIR Negroni.
