Paloma
There are many different types of recipes for a Paloma drink. This recipe is the classic and easiest version of a Paloma. It is made with Blanco Tequila 100% Agave, a chilled bottle grapefruit soda of your own choice. You can add a pinch salt for the drink or rim the edge of the glass. If you want your drink extra fresh, you can have it freshly squeezed limejuice make a big difference. If, on the other hand, you prefer it sweeter, then you can add agave– or a little sugar syrup.
In general, when making a drink or cocktail at home, you have to taste and adjust to find the right balance and sweetness that you prefer. We love the original recipe, but it's also delicious with Mezcal. If you try this variation, you may want to add extra agave or sugar syrup to balance out the smoky flavor.
Paloma is often considered a sour cocktail with a pleasant balance between sweet and sour. It is important to note that the taste experience may vary depending on the recipe and the specific ingredients used. Overall, however, the drink is known for its refreshing acidity and sweetness from grapefruit soda. This is a popular cocktail choice for those who like a balance between sweetness and acidity.

The story behind Paloma
Paloma, der betyder “due” på spansk, er en cocktail med oprindelse i Mexico. Den blev skabt som et forfriskende alternativ til den populære Margarita og er nu blevet en af de mest berømte mexicanske drinks globalt.
The story behind Paloma dates back to the mid-20th century, when a Mexican bartender named Don Javier Delgado Corona experimented with different flavor combinations. He wanted to make a light and refreshing cocktail that everyone could enjoy.
Don Javier found inspiration in the traditional Mexican drink 'Jarritos', a carbonated soda made with grapefruit. He combines Jarritos with tequila and a squeeze of lime to create the perfect balance between sweet and sour.
Word of this delicious cocktail spread quickly, and became a favorite among locals and later tourists. Today, it is one of the most popular Mexican drinks and can be found on cocktail menus around the world.
Traditionelt laves den populære cocktail ved at blande tequila, grapefrugtjuice eller grapefrugtsodavand, limejuice og lidt salt langs kanten af et glas. Den serveres typisk over is i et højt glas og kan pyntes med en skive grapefrugt eller en kvist mynte.
So the next time you sip a Paloma, think about its history and the creative bartenders who created this refreshing take on the Mexican classic.
