The Pink Papaya

Spicy Paloma

In honor of Cinco De Mayo. We decided to create our version of the Famous Paloma. When you think of a Mexican drink. One of the first things that comes to mind is a Margarita. However, A very popular, if not the most popular cocktail in Mexico as well as Mexico’s National drink is the Paloma (“The Dove”). Here at The Pink Papaya, we decided to spicy things up a bit and create a blended Spicy Paloma. We hope you enjoy!

Spicy Paloma Recipe

This adult beverage has Ruby Red Grapefruit juice as well as Jarrito Grapefruit soda. We also add The Jose Cuervo Blue Agave White tequila to take the edge off while we introduce you to the Jalapeno simple syrup to bring home the spice. We blend this paloma to cool your taste buds off. Although the rim is dipped in a Spicy Alepo honey as well, it brings a sweet heat to this beverage.
