Paloma Mocktail
💧0
An alcohol-free approximation of the classic Paloma.
The Paloma is widely credited to Don Javier Delgado Corona, the long-time bartender at La Capilla cantina in the town of Tequila, Mexico — although the drink predates his appearance there in the 1950s and 60s. The IBA added it to the Contemporary Classics list. Mexican home-style is built with Squirt soda over plenty of ice; bar versions use fresh juice and a quality soda to dial up the grapefruit character.
