Beer expands paloma customization
Like other highball cocktails, the paloma invites a variety of creative twists. Fruit enthusiasts will delight in watermelon paloma cocktails, while mezcal aficionados will appreciate the Vida version. Incorporating beer into palomas opens up a new realm of customization, allowing you to play with flavors based on the chosen brew.
If you prefer sweet and easy-drinking palomas, consider using cans like Stiegl Radler. This addition brings a sweetness reminiscent of grapefruit soda, with just a hint of beer flavor. Plus, at only 2% ABV, it won’t significantly elevate the alcohol content. However, if you’re seeking a stronger kick, opt for an IPA. Hops such as Citra offer grapefruit-like notes, adding a bold punch (and higher alcohol) to the drink. For a more beer-forward paloma, try a grapefruit-flavored wheat ale or sour.
In addition to varying the beer, don’t forget you can also modify the type and amount of tequila. A 2-ounce pour is a traditional starting point, but with stronger beers, it’s wise to reduce the tequila. While unaged blanco tequila is the standard choice, the sweeter vanilla and caramel flavors of reposado can create a lovely blend. So, mix your spirits, sweeteners, and juices, then top it off with beer in a tall glass — it’s a combination that’s sure to impress.
