Introducing the Bourbon Paloma.
The traditional Paloma — bright, bubbly, and built with tequila, grapefruit, and soda — is a staple of warm-weather sipping. But what happens when you trade distilled agave for oak-aged depth. You get the Bourbon Paloma: a rich, citrus-forward cocktail that bridges the gap between southern swagger and Mexican sunshine…and extends the Paloma into fall and winter.
Think of it as the love child of an Old Fashioned and a Paloma — just four simple ingredients, yet full of complexity. The bourbon brings notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice, which mingle effortlessly with the tangy bite of grapefruit and a whisper of lime. A touch of sweetener balances the citrus, making each sip smooth, zesty, and slightly smoky.
This combination of an Old Fashioned and a Paloma is bound to become your go-to for warm-weather happy hours.
