Author Notes
The Paloma is a classic Mexican cocktail that’s popular because it’s incredibly refreshing with just the right amount of tart pucker. This spin swaps the tequila with Maker’s Mark 46®. The bourbon helps to ground this light and fizzy drink, while the vanilla and caramel notes act as warm foils to the bright citrus. —Irene Yoo
