The Almond Paloma

A bright and complex highball with layers of citrus, spice, and nuttiness, the Almond Paloma balances the crisp acidity of grapefruit and lime with the warmth of toasted almond and ginger. Tequila provides a smooth yet vibrant backbone, while a splash of soda water adds a refreshing effervescence. The final touch—a fragrant bouquet of grapefruit, mint, and lime—makes every sip a delight for the senses.
