The Paloma’s shimmering character is just one reason it is the most popular cocktail in Mexico. Easily mixed in large batches to serve in a pitcher for company, the Paloma is a year-round cocktail, complementing a summer cookout, as well as a more formal affair. However, where and when the Paloma began is a bit of a mystery. In 1938, the first grapefruit soda came on the scene in the United States. From there, the soda made its way to Mexico in 1955. Whoever first mixed tequila, lime, and grapefruit soda brought together an undeniably beautiful and delightful beverage.
You can’t go wrong with this classic recipe from Patrón Tequila. Day or night, it’s a delicious drink that’s the perfect way to transition through the seasons. Try a variety of Patrón Paloma cocktails and specials throughout Paloma Week at various venues, including Patrón’s namesake bar, Bar Patrón in Sydney’s Circular Quay.
