Meet The Paloma, Your New Favorite Tequila Cocktail
If the Margarita is the king of tequila cocktails, the Paloma is the queen. The name means "dove" in Spanish, and it's a street-smart favorite that delivers a taste of Mexico in a glass. Its sweet-tart balance is zesty and refreshing and the perfect antidote for a hot summer day.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila

- Pinch of Salt
- Ice Cubes
Paloma Recipe

Pro-Tip For a personalized twist, try using different types of tequila – blanco for a crisp taste or reposado for a smoother, slightly oaky flavor.
Hot Remix Spice it up by using mezcal instead of tequila for a smoky and earthy variation on the classic Paloma recope.
