The Paloma represents the Mexican cocktail tradition at its refreshing best: grapefruit-forward, perfectly balanced, and endlessly drinkable. Creating quality non-alcoholic versions should be straightforward, yet most Paloma mocktails fail spectacularly by drowning authentic citrus character in excessive sweetness or artificial flavoring. Many mocktail enthusiasts chalk the failures up to palomas just not being a good fit for mocktail crafting. Really though, the fact is that almost every cocktail can be made as a mocktail, when the right balance is achieved.
