The Paloma cocktail, a refreshing mix of tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda, has a rich history dating back to the 1950s in Mexico. This iconic drink is believed to have been created by Don Javier Delgado Corona, owner of the La Capilla bar in Tequila, Jalisco. The addition of grapefruit juice adds a tangy twist to the classic recipe, enhancing the citrusy flavors. To experience the best Paloma with a splash of grapefruit juice, visit renowned bars in Mexico City or Jalisco, where skilled mixologists craft this cocktail with precision. The key to a perfect Paloma lies in using high-quality tequila and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice for an authentic taste.
