Pro Tip
If your Paloma tastes flat, it’s usually the soda — not the tequila.
Usage
Used as a mixer to lengthen drinks and add bright grapefruit character. Most commonly paired with tequila or mezcal, but versatile across light spirits.
Top Tips
- Chill thoroughly to keep bitterness clean and refreshing.
- Choose lower-sugar styles to avoid masking the spirit.
- Add gently to preserve carbonation.
Possible Substitutions
- Fresh grapefruit juice + soda water
- Bitter lemon (more quinine, less fruit)
Production Method
Produced by carbonating water and blending with grapefruit juice or flavourings, sweeteners, and acids, then bottled under pressure.
History & Context
Grapefruit soda became widely popular in Mexico and the United States, particularly as the defining mixer in the Paloma. Its balance of bitterness and refreshment made it a staple in agave-based cocktails.
