How to Make the Paloma

Move over, Margarita! The Paloma is here to steal the spotlight. This Mexican national drink is giving its famous cousin a run for its money.

Why? It’s simpler, fresher, and harder to mess up. Just toss together tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda. Boom! You’ve got a zesty fiesta in a glass.

While a perfect Margarita can be heavenly, you never know what you are going to get. But the Paloma? Always great and the tequila works so well with the tequila!
