Paloma

For a refreshing, thirst-quenching tequila cocktail look no further than the Paloma. The Paloma is perfect for a sunny summer’s day. Tequila with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and a tang of lime, perfectly balanced with honey syrup to round everything off. A touch of salt on the rim of the glass will add a little something extra and lastly the effervescence from the soda water quenches any thirst. This delicious Paloma box is made with Leonista Reposado Tequila! Delicious, earthy, subtly sweet with hints of a smoky finish, and proudly South African!

The Paloma is a Mexican favourite and a great change-up from a classic Margarita. Little is known about the historical origin of the Paloma. Some believe that it is named after La Paloma (“The Dove”), the popular folk song composed in the early 1860s. Difford’s Guide states it was created by the legendary Don Javier Delgado Corona, owner and bartender of La Capilla, in Tequila, Mexico.
