Non-Alcoholic Paloma Mocktail

MEDIUM | CITRUS | VEGAN

Refreshing thirst-quenching drink

The Paloma is a clean, bubbly, citrusy drink. Its name translates from Spanish as 'dove', the drink is said to have been named after a popular Mexican folk song. Whilst most outside of Mexico would know the Margarita, the Paloma is a favourite throughout Mexico and for many is considered Mexico's national drink. 

This non-alcoholic Paloma recipe blends sweetness from the agave and sugar, sourness from the lime and grapefruit, bubbles from the soda water together with the complexity of flavours from Banks Herbarium.
