The Paloma

The Paloma is having a moment and we're here for it.

For those wanting a non-alcoholic Paloma, we’ve reimagined this fresh and tangy classic using Clean T, our alcohol-free tequila alternative.

With the perfect blend of grapefruit juice and a hint of lime, this Clean Cocktail delivers all the joy and zest of the original. Perfect for Summer and with plenty of options to mix it up and add your own spin, this simple classic is a firm favourite for 2025.

The history of the Paloma is pretty interesting. Some call it a more authentic Mexican drink than the margarita (but you didn't hear that from us). 

The Paloma - Spanish for "dove" - is the national cocktail of Mexico, with a history that blends regional agriculture, clever marketing, and evolving bar culture. While the exact origin of the drink remains a bit of a mystery, it's been popular in Mexico and the US for a long time.

Here in the UK we're just catching on to how delicious and understated the Paloma is, and in Summer 2025 we're set for a Paloma boom.

It's the fresh grapefruit, lime, and tequila that creates a crisp, refreshing drink that's perfect for the heat. It’s not too heavy on the palate, making it a go-to for casual sipping during summer afternoons or evenings. 

Try this fresh Clean T alternative next time you reach for a non-alcoholic sip this summer!
