Everyone’s favourite Paloma gets a delicious Indian makeover. Tequila reposado infused with “Timur Pepper” which has citrusy & grapefruit notes and is grown at the foothills of Himalaya. It also produces a slightly numbing and tingling sensation on your lip when consumed. We have also spiced up the fresh grapefruit juice with the warming spice blend from Himalaya. The combination of all these interesting elements has allowed us to elevate your Paloma sipping experience.

Winter

La Winter Paloma es una versión invernal del clásico Paloma mexicano, que combina tequila reposado con jugo de toronja, jugo de lima fresco, jarabe de agave y un toque de pimienta, servida sobre hielo en un vaso highball. El toque de pimienta y el jarabe de agave (en lugar del jarabe simple) le otorgan un carácter cálido y ligeramente especiado apropiado para las estaciones frías. El nombre hace referencia a una adaptación con especias indias que utiliza pimienta Timur del Himalaya.

History & Origins

The Paloma is one of Mexico's most beloved cocktails, traditionally made with tequila and grapefruit soda (Jarritos or Squirt), though the fresh juice version has become widely adopted in craft cocktail bars. The Winter Paloma variation with Timur pepper represents a contemporary fusion adaptation, combining the classic Mexican base with a Himalayan spice found in Indian cuisine. The specific recipe's origin is disputed, though it reflects the early 21st-century trend of global spice integration in cocktails.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Tequila's agave earthiness with fresh grapefruit and lime citrus and a distinctive peppery, citrusy note from the Timur pepper. Palate: Tart and refreshing from the grapefruit and lime, with agave syrup adding a natural sweetness and tequila's earthy agave character providing body; the pepper adds a warming, citrusy spice. Finish: Dry, slightly spicy, and refreshing with lingering grapefruit and pepper warmth.

Pro Tip

Salt the rim of the glass before building the drink to add a savory counterpoint that accentuates the grapefruit's natural bitterness.
