The Paloma is Mexico's most popular tequila cocktail — a long, fizzy highball of tequila and grapefruit soda, sharpened with fresh lime and a pinch of salt and served tall over ice. It is built straight in the glass, casual and refreshing rather than fussy, and tastes bright, tart-sweet and a little bitter, with the agave warmth of the tequila lifted by the grapefruit and carried on the salt. Where the Margarita is the tequila drink the world knows, the Paloma is the one Mexico actually drinks — an everyday cantina and backyard cooler. Its name is the Spanish word for "dove".
