Blood Orange Paloma by The Cookie Rookie

If you’ve had your fill of margaritas and want to give something new a try, we recommend this crowd-pleasing Blood Orange Paloma cocktail recipe from The Cookie Rookie. It’s a vibrant twist on the traditional paloma, practically begging to be sipped outside in the sunshine.

The origins of the traditional paloma (meaning “dove”) are varied, but the cocktail is usually made with tequila, grapefruit juice or soda and lime. The Cookie Rookie uses fresh lime, grapefruit and plenty of blood orange juice to give this beverage a distinctly sweet flavor with a hint of raspberry. The blood orange not only intensifies the taste, but it also gives the cocktail that beautiful deep orange color.

These fresh citrus flavors pair perfectly with Exotico Reposado, balancing a mouthwatering acidic bite with the smooth flavors of vanilla, caramel and spices.
