Today, Sunday May 22nd, is World Paloma Day and we here at Guilty Eats want to help you celebrate! The Mexican cocktail is traditionally prepared with tequila, lime juice and grapefruit soda and served in a highball glass. However, today we present some fun variations of this cocktail!
Tres Agaves Tequila is a USDA certified organic spirit that is organic and gluten-free. The one-stop 100% blue agave tequila is available in three flavors: Blanco, Reposado and Añejo. The company has shared three different versions of the classic Paloma that we think you’ll like. We recommend you try to find Jarritos soda for the most authentic flavored drink.
