Cinco de Mayo Sip: The Verde Paloma with Don Julio Blanco Tequila

Another Cinco de Mayo is here, and it’s time to start the celebrations. For this year’s May 5th festivities, we are all about this Verde Paloma, made with a simple but satisfying blend of Tequila Don Julio Blanco, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, mint and Sanpellegrino Pompelo.

Crafted by Mexico City’s renowned mixologist Ricardo Sandoval, the Verde Paloma helps to showcase the smooth and clean flavors of the Tequila Don Julio Blanco, helping to showcase the decidedly citrus notes of lemon, lime and grapefruit with a finish of black pepper and grassy undertones.

That’s some serious deliciousness, all served up in a simply made cocktail.
