Description

The Summer Citrus Paloma is a bright, refreshing twist on the classic Mexican Paloma. Traditionally made with tequila and grapefruit soda, this version enhances the citrus character with fresh juices, typically pink grapefruit, lime, and a splash of orange. Light, zesty, and slightly sparkling, it's become a seasonal favourite for summer sipping. With a perfect balance of tartness and subtle sweetness, the Summer Citrus Paloma is ideal for garden parties, barbecues, or any occasion that calls for something cool and uplifting.
