The rich minty flavour of the mocktail provides an effervescent mouthfeel alongside a mild bitterness that contrasts a plain cheeze pizza.
The fizz from soda brings a light fizziness along with the combination of berries to bring subtle sweetness without overwhelming the savoury taste of a freshly baked pepperoni pizza.
The shaken blend of herbs produces a smooth, clean flavour that washes over spice elements and saltiness of the pizza, improving the collective flavour profile.
Natural sweetness of the tropical fruit balances the pepperoni’s smoky saltiness, while the sourness of the lime balances out the cheesiness of the pizza.
As a reflection of its zesty character, the paloma’s vibrant pink colour makes it both aesthetic and unique, echoing similar colour schemes to the pizza – complementing its crisp texture.
As the drink elevates a veggie-loaded pizza’s savoury flavour, the bitters’ subtle profile lends a refined edge, complementing the pizza in return.
