Paloma

Paloma is one of the most popular tequila cocktails in Mexico, with its name meaning "dove" in Spanish. Although its exact origin is unclear, it is generally believed to have been created in Mexico, possibly by Don Javier Delgado Corona at La Capilla bar. This refreshing cocktail perfectly combines the herbal notes of tequila with the bittersweet flavor of grapefruit, along with a touch of lime and salt, creating a balanced and layered taste. In Mexico, its popularity even surpasses that of the Margarita.
