[title]Great cocktails don’t always call for fancy techniques or complex recipes. Case in point: the classic Paloma. This refreshing 1800 Blanco Tequila concoction mixes tequila, fresh lime juice and grapefruit soda right in the glass. The pay-off? A thirst-quencher that's crisp, citrusy, easy to drink and perfect for long afternoons al fresco.
Tequila is having a moment across Australia, with specialty joints popping up all around Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and while the humble Margarita will always remain close to our hearts, the Paloma is lighter and made up before your food is even reheated. Sip on it as a pre-dinner aperitivo in the kitchen, or in a sunny beer garden – we love a versatile queen.
The beauty of the Paloma is just how effortlessly it fits into almost any occasion. It’s a tequila tipple – but lighter, brighter and built for long afternoons or spontaneous nights out. The 1800 Paloma is easier than an espresso martini, and far more refreshing than whatever’s on tap. In short, it’s uncomplicated, in the very best possible way.
