Perfect Paloma Cocktail Set: Del Maguey VIDA + Giffard Pamplemousse
What is Perfect Paloma Cocktail Set: Del Maguey VIDA + Giffard Pamplemousse?
The Perfect Paloma Cocktail Set combines Del Maguey VIDA, a smoky mezcal, with Giffard Pamplemousse, a zesty grapefruit liqueur, creating a sophisticated twist on the classic Mexican cocktail. Interestingly, the Paloma is actually more popular in Mexico than the Margarita, despite the latter's international fame, and this set offers a unique opportunity to explore the cocktail's true essence with premium ingredients.
Why do we love Perfect Paloma Cocktail Set: Del Maguey VIDA + Giffard Pamplemousse?
The Perfect Paloma Cocktail Set, featuring Del Maguey VIDA mezcal and Giffard Pamplemousse liqueur, offers a smoky-citrus twist on the classic tequila-based Paloma.

How do you drink Perfect Paloma Cocktail Set: Del Maguey VIDA + Giffard Pamplemousse?
This Perfect Paloma Cocktail Set, featuring Del Maguey VIDA mezcal and Giffard Pamplemousse liqueur, shines in refreshing citrus-forward cocktails, particularly those with a smoky twist. Enjoy it during warm summer evenings, either in a tall, iced drink or as part of a sophisticated tequila-based sipper, paired with grilled seafood or spicy Mexican cuisine to complement its complex flavor profile.
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.
