“Paloma (Spanish for "dove") is perhaps the most refreshing cocktail ever created. Sweet, sour, a little bitter, and salty, it's got all four taste groups, plus ice, bubbles, and tequila or mezcal; what's not to like? We love this refreshing Margarita with bubbles.” — Vianney Rodriguez & Yvette Marquez-Sharpnack, authors of Latin Twist
