Advancing from our first iteration of the event held in 2024, Paloma Showdown, during which venues in both London and Manchester were tasked with creating and serving their interpretation of a Paloma, incorporating our versatile and refreshing Pink Grapefruit Soda, for 2025 we’re launching UK Paloma Week; a week-long event, running throughout the country, seeing our Pink Grapefruit Soda featured in a range of Paloma-inspired cocktails, in an impressive 50+ venues. Can you think of a better way to celebrate World Paloma Day?

UK PALOMA WEEK: 18th May – 25th May

A delicious combination of tequila, lime juice and grapefruit soda, traditionally served on the rocks in a salt-rimmed glass, the cocktail is a renowned favourite for any tequila lover. From the classic Paloma to a decadent Smoked Watermelon Paloma, and even a refreshing Paloma Spritz, it’s time to get your Paloma on.
