The Paloma reminds us of our trip to Crete, where we got to know the bar owner and his lovely team. We’d never even heard of the drink before, but he swore by his version. “You haven’t lived until you’ve had my Paloma,” he said, with a grin. He was right.
Ever since then, we’ve fallen in love with this refreshing blend of grapefruit and tequila.
