I’ve been wanting to cover another tequila cocktail here on CH and this weekend I made it my mission to find that cocktail.\u00c2\u00a0 I’d heard tale of a cocktail that is said to be more prevalent among Mexican locals than the Margarita, the Paloma.\u00c2\u00a0 The Paloma is a tall drink (think Collins-ish) made with grapefruit soda, lime and tequila.\u00c2\u00a0 Sounds like a winner to me!<\/p>\n
