Ingredients

Directions

Get a taste of summer with a refreshing-tasting tequila cocktail, the paloma, made with Casamigos.  

The paloma’s Spanish name, “la paloma”, is similar sounding to the Spanish word for grapefruit, “pomelo”, which is the essential flavor of this cocktail.
  
Tart &amp; citrus-y 
Paired with the tart lime juice and the hint of orange bitters, this drink has a simple but balanced citrus taste that is suited for most tequila cocktail lovers. 
 
Use top-shelf tequila
Blanco tequila is fresh-tasting with herbal notes and a clear agave flavor. We recommend <a href="https://us.thebar.com/products/casamigos-blanco/" title="Casamigos Blanco">Casamigos Blanco</a> tequila as the inspiration for this cocktail. A quality tequila is the backbone of this drink. 
 
Bubbly &amp; light

 History of the paloma

Cousin to the margarita, the paloma is a favorite tequila cocktail for beating the summer heat. Though the margarita may reign supreme State-side, the paloma is the most popular tequila-based cocktail in Mexico.  
 
Unfortunately, little is known of the origin of the paloma or who invented the drink. Some sources state that the paloma cocktail was first introduced to its U.S. audience in the 1950s. 
 
The Rio Grande area is a part of Texas where grapefruit grows in abundance. In 1929, a citrus grower found his pink grapefruits displaying a shade of red blush. This led to the discovery of the Ruby Red Grapefruit, the first to have a citrus patent granted in the U.S. The discovery of the Ruby Red Grapefruit led to a growth in interest for grapefruit-based cocktails in Texas, setting the stage for the paloma to overtake the popularity of the margarita in the area. Today, the paloma cocktail has grown to be a classic tequila-based staple across many regions of the U.S. and south of its borders.
