Paloma

The national drink of Mexico

THE SPIRIT BEHIND IT

Mexico’s favorite cocktail isn’t the Margarita. It’s the Paloma. The classic recipe is tequila and grapefruit soda, but ours elevates the drink by adding grapefruit juice, lime juice, agave nectar, and Socorro Tequila Blanco. The name Paloma means “dove,” and the drink didn’t really show up on menus until the late 1990s, though people in people in Guadalajara were drinking them decades earlier.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 oz Socorro Blanco
  • 0.5 oz lime juice
  • 0.5 oz agave
  • 1 oz grapefruit juice

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Add tequila, lime juice, agave, and grapefruit juice to a glass with ice.

Pablo’s Tip

Substitute grapefruit juice and sparkling water with any grapefruit soda (Jarritos or Squirt) for a more traditional Mexican twist.

Socorro Blanco — Pure. Vibrant. Uncompromising.

Socorro Tequila Blanco is crafted in the Highlands of Jalisco from 100% Blue Weber agave, slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens and double-distilled to preserve the natural character of the agave. The result is a clean, vibrant tequila with a smooth, balanced profile that’s perfect for sipping or cocktails.
