A drink that’s as crisp as it is iconic, the Paloma has long been a symbol of effortless cool. Light, citrusy, and undeniably chic, it’s no surprise that this Mexican classic has earned its own moment in the spotlight with World Paloma Day. And who better to lead the celebration than Don Julio, a brand known for its legacy, luxury, and dedication to the finest craftsmanship of tequila.
We celebrated World Paloma Day on the 22nd of May, Don Julio invites you to raise a glass with a uniquely refined take on the beloved cocktail, the Don Paloma. This simplified version of the Paloma introduces the incredibly zesty taste of Don Julio Blanco, enveloped in a rich yet crisp flavour profile.
The Paloma cocktail is a Mexican favourite that originated in the mid-20th century. It has since evolved into a staple of Mexican cocktail culture and is now enjoyed around the world for its signature crisp and citrusy flavour.
The Don Paloma isn’t just a drink, it’s a sensorial experience. “Don Julio Blanco is made for mixing. Its unique taste profile makes it the perfect companion”, says Theo Zulu, Brand Manager at Diageo.
