Cocktail Description
The Paloma delivers everything a margarita wishes it could be—bright, refreshing, and utterly transportive with none of the cloying sweetness.
This elevated take on Mexico's favorite tequila cocktail pairs the clean, peppery notes of Patron Silver with freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice for authentic citrus brightness that bottled versions simply can't match. The touch of lime adds necessary acidity while organic agave syrup provides just enough sweetness to balance the grapefruit's natural bitterness. The Three Cents Pink Grapefruit soda creates a delicate effervescence that makes this drink perfect for hot summer afternoons or as a refreshing aperitif before dinner. Despite its sophisticated flavor profile, the Paloma is remarkably simple to prepare—just shake, strain, and top with soda. The optional salt rim enhances the cocktail's complexity and pairs wonderfully with Mexican cuisine, particularly seafood dishes like grilled fish tacos or ceviche, where the citrus notes complement without overwhelming the food.
