The cocktail’s flavour profile highlights herbal undertones and tart citrus notes with a bright and zesty finish made possible by changing the spirit base.
The sour undertones are complemented by the frothy, creamy texture of the drink which is achieved by vigorous shaking of the cocktail alongside grated citrus zest to contrast the drink’s silky texture.
Spicy, robust undertones of this concoction make it stand out from the classic due to featuring an intricate taste profile by blending citrus with subtly smoky elements and spice.
Lighter and fruitier than the classic paloma, the variation has an effervescent texture highlighting a pale pink hue, depending on how the components combine in a highball glass.
The striking pinkish-red hue makes this cocktail presentable and ideal to serve at formal events, gently shaken to combine flavours while maintaining its velvety texture through double straining.
