The Paloma is actually more popular than the Margarita in Mexico, though it remains less known internationally. Its name means "dove" in Spanish. The refreshing combination of tequila, grapefruit, and lime creates a drink that is both simple and sophisticated, with a pleasant bittersweet quality that makes it endlessly drinkable in warm weather.
