The Paloma is the #1 ordered cocktail in all of Mexico and is one the most recognizable tequila drinks that has ever existed. This modern take of the classic is not a replacement but a nod to the original amazing drink. We start with blanco tequila, just like the original. Bright, floral, and slightly spicy, it is backed by a familiar earthiness yet is always crisp and clean. The traditional grapefruit soda or juice is replaced by Pamplemousse (a French grapefruit) liqueur. Slightly sweet and full of bright citrus, this liqueur makes for an exceptionally delightful backing to the tequila. The traditional citrus tones are further heightened by lime bitters. Everything is wrapped together with the fruity and crisp guava juice, while sparkling water lightens the flavors just enough to add refreshing vibrance. The Frequent Flyer is ready to go. Taking inspiration from the original both in flavor and in name (Paloma translates to Dove – a migratory bird) the Frequent Flyer is ready to be enjoyed frequently.
