Luxardo Bitter Bianco
Luxardo Maraschino Originale
obody knows how the Paloma, or “dove” in
English, got its name. What we do know is
that it is a delicious and quintessentially Mexican cocktail that is perfect on hot days and warm nights. Traditionally made with tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda, it probably originated in Mexico sometime in the mid-1900s, around the time that grapefruit Jarritos arrived on the scene.
The Bianco Paloma is a modern twist that takes the original’s grapefruit flavor and dials it up to veinte — or maybe venti. We swapped out the grapefruit soda for fresh grapefruit juice, and added two Italian apéritifs that are well-known complements of citrus fruit: Luxardo Bitter Bianco and Luxardo Maraschino Originale.
