I grew up in the Paloma land that is Greece. It's Paloma madness there. Since local brand Three Cents launched its undoubtedly delicious pink grapefruit soda, the whole game of the classic pink highball was elevated, if not skyrocketed, to a whole new level.
This twist on the Paloma came from our desire to deliver something simple, yet delicious, and somehow crowd-pleasing. It happened when nobody expected it and, to be fair, no one asked for it.
It is a mixture of Thanos' love for classic cocktails and my passion for seasonal produce. A very simple drink that replicates grapefruit with the stiffness and acidity of rhubarb, alongside an exceptionally crafted, perfectly balanced tequila that adds a hint of pepper and works exceptionally well in this drink. The Lost Explorer Tequila Blanco used here, despite being a recently launched product, has really found a place in both my heart and my agave shelf.
