Cocktail Description
This vivacious twist on the classic Paloma swaps tequila for smooth vodka, creating a perfect gateway cocktail for those still hesitant about agave spirits.
The Passion Paloma combines the crisp neutrality of Ketel One vodka with the intense tropical sweetness of Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur, while fresh pink grapefruit juice adds the signature citrus bite that defines the Paloma family. Your first sip delivers an immediate burst of exotic passion fruit followed by grapefruit's pleasant tartness, creating a beautifully balanced sweet-sour profile that's refreshing without being cloying. It's remarkably simple to make—just shake, strain, and serve—making it perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying a stress-free weekend afternoon on the patio. The Passion Paloma shines as a brunch cocktail but transitions effortlessly to evening gatherings, especially during warmer months. For food pairings, its bright acidity and tropical notes complement spicy fish tacos, grilled shrimp, or even a light citrus salad with goat cheese.
