New Recipe Page: The Paloma

The Paloma is the most popular tequila cocktail after the Margarita (unless you're in Mexico, where it's more popular than the Margarita). It's endlessly refreshing and dead simple to make, just blanco tequila topped with grapefruit soda, a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt. Of course, as those familiar with me and the site won't be surprised to hear, perfecting the recipe together wasn't so easy. Over the past 6 weeks I've tried, and made Palomas with, every grapefruit soda I could get my hands on - some I had to hunt down - along with several tried different ratios and compositions (rim the glass with salt or throw it right in? one lime wedge or two?). But it was all worth it. The recipe on this new page may just put you off Margaritas for life (maybe, probably not).

This article is excellent and perfectly captures the essence of those who appreciate simplicity yet sophistication, like myself. I completely agree that in Mexico, Paloma is preferred because its refreshing and cooling effect is truly unrivaled on hot days. Thank you so much for the challenging task of trying every grapefruit soda on the market to give everyone your final recommendation; it saved so much time and effort for amateurs like me. Combining simple ingredients to create a sophisticated flavor is truly an art, much like how I get drawn into the unpredictable variations of the game Sprunky, where every small change creates a completely different experience. May I ask whether you prefer using coarse sea salt or fine salt…

I've played many balance games, but eggy car stands out because success depends on smooth acceleration rather than speed alone. It rewards careful decision-making.
