Paloma
The Paloma is a refreshing Mexican cocktail made with tequila, grapefruit juice, and a splash of club soda. The drink is believed to date back to the early 1900s, when tequila was first introduced to the city of Tijuana. According to legend, the Paloma was created by a bartender who was looking for a way to use up some leftover tequila. He combined the spirit with fresh grapefruit juice and club soda, and the Paloma was born.
The Paloma quickly became a popular choice at cantinas and bars in Tijuana, and soon spread to other parts of Mexico. Today, the cocktail is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, and has even made its way into the mainstream American culture. Whether you enjoy your Paloma with tequila, mezcal, or even vodka, one thing is for sure – this delicious cocktail is here to stay.
