Summer is already here, and we are craving refreshing drinks. There are many to choose from, and one of the classic drinks is the Paloma, a tequila cocktail made with grapefruit juice. In this variation, we use Volcán de Mi Tierra Cristalino, a Premium tequila with a fusion of aromas: cooked agave, tobacco, dried fruits, chocolate, and vanilla come together to give it distinctive tasting notes. For purists, this tequila is ideal for sipping or on the rocks.

Returning to our cocktail, we use fresh watermelon which we blended and passed through a strainer to combine with orange juice, lemon juice, tequila, and as a final touch when serving it, a splash of seltzer. This recipe is for sharing, it yields 1 pitcher or 5 cocktails.

It’s quick to make! Everything is mixed inside the pitcher and served in collins glasses over a lot of ice. To give it an extra punch, we soaked the glass rims with lemon to cover them with a mixture of salt and chili powder.

You can find Tequila Volcán de Mi Tierra at Vinoteca stores.
