Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Elevate the coconut paloma with a tequila-based coconut liqueur since it delicately incorporates agave notes, offering depth and a deeper connection to the classic version.
Serving Tip 1
Instead of a whole salt rim, use half a rim of finely crushed pink Himalayan salt. The visual appeal is not only remarkable but the salt touches only half of the glass, allowing for diverse sips depending on the preference of the drinker.
