What is Perfect Paloma Cocktail Set: Del Maguey VIDA + Giffard Pamplemousse?

Nose: Smoky agave mingles with bright citrus. Zesty grapefruit peel and a hint of vanilla emerge. Earthy undertones of roasted peppers and clay.

Palate: Smooth mezcal carries grapefruit's bittersweet punch. Subtle sweetness balances smoke and citrus. Light herbal notes of sage and mint appear. Peppery spice builds gradually.

Finish: Long and warming. Smoke lingers with grapefruit's tang. Gentle agave sweetness. Faint mineral quality. Leaves a refreshing, slightly dry sensation.

The Perfect Paloma Cocktail Set combines Del Maguey VIDA, a single village mezcal made from espadin agave in San Luis del Rio, Oaxaca, with Giffard Pamplemousse, a grapefruit liqueur crafted in France's Loire Valley. What's fascinating about this pairing is how it brings together two distinct artisanal traditions: the ancient, smoky mezcal-making process of roasting agave hearts in earthen pits before fermenting and distilling, and the careful maceration and infusion techniques used to create Giffard's vibrant, all-natural fruit liqueurs.

  • The Del Maguey VIDA mezcal used in this Perfect Paloma set is made from 100% organic agave that's roasted underground for 3-5 days in rock-lined pits, giving it a distinctively smoky flavor that beautifully complements the grapefruit notes of the Giffard Pamplemousse liqueur.
  • Giffard Pamplemousse, the French grapefruit liqueur in this cocktail set, is made using a unique maceration process that involves steeping fresh grapefruit zest in neutral alcohol for several weeks, resulting in an incredibly vibrant and true-to-fruit flavor that elevates the Paloma beyond its typical tequila-based recipe.
  • The combination of mezcal and grapefruit liqueur in this Perfect Paloma set actually has roots in traditional Oaxacan medicine, where both agave spirits and citrus fruits were used for their perceived healing properties, making this modern cocktail a nod to centuries-old cultural practices.
  • Main Ingredient: Espadin Maguey

      Simple, refreshing, delicious cocktail

      I love cocktails, but I’m also lazy and bad at keeping fresh stuff in the house. This is a 4-ingredient cocktail — mezcal, grapefruit liqueur, lime juice, and tonic water — and 4-step — combine, shake, pour, top with tonic — super simple cocktail that takes 30 seconds to make. It’s become my go-to for nice weather outdoors and even during fall Browns games, so I can make one quick and get back to the 4th quarter collapse before I miss more missed tackles!
