📚 Trivia about the "Paloma" and the romance of peace
1. The most beloved cocktail in Mexico
While the "Margarita" and "Tequila Sunrise" are famous as tequila-based cocktails in Japan, it is said that the "Paloma" is the most consumed one in its home country of Mexico. Its ease of preparation and the way it allows you to enjoy tequila more refreshingly are the reasons it is loved by people of all ages.
2. What the "dove" symbolizes
The cocktail's name, "Paloma" (dove), symbolizes peace, kindness, and purity. In particular, the image of a dove carrying an olive branch is a symbol of hope and reconciliation. By wrapping the strong tequila in the gentleness of grapefruit, this cocktail expresses the romance connected to its drink word: "conveying strong beliefs (tequila) with kindness (grapefruit)."
🛍️ Here are the ingredients to make a Paloma at home
The preparation is very simple! As long as you have grapefruit soda, you can feel the breeze of Mexico right away.
■ Tequila (Blanco)
A clear and pure blanco (silver) is recommended. It won't compromise the refreshing flavor of the Paloma.
■ Grapefruit Soda
Mixing it with grapefruit juice and sparkling water is recommended as it allows you to adjust the sweetness.
■ Lime (juice)
Adding a small amount tightens the flavor and increases the sense of refreshment. Squeezing fresh lime is best.
