World Paloma Day

World Paloma Day is celebrated on May 22, so get ready to party the night away as you sip on the delicious Paloma cocktail from Mexico. Haven’t tried the drink yet? Now is the perfect time to do so!

History of World Paloma Day

Though there are numerous cocktail drinks available in America, there is always room for one more — especially if the drink is as delicious as a paloma! Made with grapefruit soda, tequila, and some lime, the refreshing alcoholic beverage has long been the national drink of Mexico. Though consumption of this drink is not as common in the U.S., the country is slowly catching up to its tangy flavors after World Paloma Day was founded by the brand Cenote Tequila in 2019. The special day is meant to recognize the famous Mexican drink and celebrate the unique taste and originality it brings to the table.

To highlight the launch of World Paloma Day, Cenote introduced a Paloma Bar pop-up on the parade organized to commemorate the day with a bang in 2019. The celebrations were taken up a notch in 2020 by the tequila brand Jose Cuervo as they launched a charitable cocktail for World Paloma Day. What was so special about Jose Cuervo’s Paloma, you ask? Well, the bottled beverage was released to provide people with a cocktail at home! This move was also taken keeping in mind the spread of COVID-19 and the social distancing guidelines recommended by the health sector. The profits collected from the sales of the drink were donated to The Drinks Trust — a venture that has been providing support, care, and assistance to the workforce of the drinks industry since 1886.

Are you craving the yummy drink yet? If not, you will definitely be heading to the nearest bar after you are done reading this article.
