The Paloma is a popular Mexican cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda. It is a light and refreshing drink that is often enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. The cocktail's name translates to 'dove' in Spanish, and the drink symbolizes the feeling of freedom that a dove embodies.
