Interesting fact, is that the Paloma, not the Margarita, is Mexico’s favourite cocktail. This cocktail is traditionally made with tequila, lime juice and grapefruit soda, but we have put our twist on it, and are creating it with our Grapefruit + Rosemary Sour mixer. The grapefruit brings the traditional nod to Paloma, while the rosemary flavours balance out the cocktail, and compliment the sweetness of the tequila. We have added a salted rim, to give it an extra kick.
