![]() Here’s what you need to do a Paloma justice, beyond what you might be able to dig out of the fridge or cupboard. Then, tequila drinks with Mexican heritage speak to you, there's always the Margarita. And a Sea Breeze mixes grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, and vodka. Ingredients 2 ounces blanco tequila, such as Chinaco 1 ounce salted grapefruit cordial 3/4 ounce fresh juice from 2 limes 1/4 ounce Campari Seltzer. The Salty Dog is a Greyhound cocktail with a salted rim. If it's a fruit whose flavor you enjoy, the Greyhound is a very simple grapefruit juice and vodka cocktail. Freshly-Squeezed Juice Is the Secret to Better Palomas You can technically make a Paloma with just two ingredients tequila and grapefruit-flavored soda but using fresh fruit juice boosts the cocktail’s citrusy flavor and pretty pink color. That's probably not the right guess, though. If we had to hazard a guess and get a little poetic in doing so, we'd say it's because La Paloma is as weightless as the wings of a dove, alighting on a boiling hot day to bring about a little reprieve. It's certainly not the color of the dove, nor does it coo like one. Nor is it known why it's called La Paloma, or "the dove" in English. ![]() Add tequila and lime juice, then top with grapefruit soda. Add fresh grapefruit juice, lime juice, tequila, and agave to a cocktail shaker. Fill a highball glass with ice (dip the rim in salt first, if you like). Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and dip the rim into the salt. ![]() Squirt was exported to Mexico in the mid-20th century while around that time, grapefruit Jarritos-or Jarritos Toranja-was invented, so it only took a bottle of one of those plus some tequila to make the very first, very basic Paloma. To rim the glass, add a pinch of salt to a small plate. We do know that grapefruit soda was a necessity. You can also go for the fresh option, lemon-lime soda with a splash of fresh-squeezed. La Paloma has no proven origin story, but it definitely (probably) came from Mexico sometime in the mid- to late-1900s and eventually made it across the border to the U.S. The Squirt available in the U.S., however, is commonly sweetened with corn syrup, so we suggest Izze or Ting.
