History:
Paloma is Spanish for 'dove'. Its origins are unknown although it is reputed to date back to the 1950s. Some attribute its creation to the legendary Don Javier Delgado Corona, the former owner/bartender of La Capilla (The Chapel) in Tequila, Mexico, who created the Batanga.
Review:
Reminiscent of a long fruity Margarita with refreshing effervescence.
