Mount RigiAlpine x Paloma

The Alpine x Paloma is a Paloma recipe for tequila and grapefruit fans: tequila blanco, fresh grapefruit, lime and Mount Rigi, served long over ice. Tequila blanco keeps it clean and dry, fresh grapefruit and lime bring the citrus snap, and Mount Rigi stands in for the usual grapefruit soda or added sugar with floral elderflower, lemon balm and a light Kirsch note for extra depth.

Frequently AskedQuestions

How is the Alpine x Paloma different from a classic Paloma?

A classic Paloma gets its sweetness from grapefruit soda or added sugar. The Alpine x Paloma keeps the same tequila-and-grapefruit base, with Mount Rigi providing that sweetness instead — floral elderflower, lemon balm and a light Kirsch note in place of straight sugar, for a drier finish with extra botanical depth, while staying just as citrus-forward.

Can I use grapefruit soda instead of fresh grapefruit juice?

Yes. Grapefruit soda creates a lighter and slightly sweeter version that is perfect for casual summer drinking.

Which tequila is best for an Alpine x Paloma?

A clean tequila blanco is ideal because it keeps the cocktail bright, fresh and citrus-driven.
