A refreshing and slightly tart tequila-based cocktail with a crisp grapefruit flavor, balanced by lime and a touch of sweetness.

Served in a highball glass over ice, often with a salted rim and a grapefruit wedge for garnish.

Variations include the Spicy Paloma (adding jalapeño slices) and the Mezcal Paloma (using smoky mezcal instead of tequila).

Perfect with tacos, grilled seafood, and spicy Mexican dishes.
