Cocktail Description
The Simple Paloma is a refreshing twist on the Paloma that lets quality tequila shine through bright citrus notes.
This simple highball combines the clean, peppery character of Patron Silver with tart lime juice and the bittersweet complexity of pink grapefruit soda for a drink that's simultaneously sophisticated and refreshing. The optional salt rim provides a savory counterpoint to the cocktail's citrus elements, while the grapefruit wedge garnish adds both visual appeal and an aromatic boost. Perfect for warm afternoons or as a pre-dinner aperitif, the Simple Paloma requires minimal bartending skills—just pour and stir. This cocktail pairs beautifully with Mexican cuisine, particularly seafood dishes like shrimp tacos or ceviche, where the bright acidity cuts through rich flavors. It's also an excellent companion to spicy foods, as the cool, citrusy profile tempers heat while complementing bold seasonings.
