PINK DOVE (paloma cocktail - pink grapefruit and tequila)
Description
Traditionally, the Mexican Paloma is served on the rocks and prepared by mixing tequila, fresh lime juice and grapefruit-flavored soda, like Jarritos.
In the US - the cocktail is often made with Fresca or Squirt.
This mix is very very much like Fresca with a dash of tequila and lime. iIt is incredibly refreshing and easily an ADV for me. tested on the reload s at 50 watrs.
The combination of citrus soda, honey pomelo and Pink guava really create a spot on fresca soda off the shake
**citrus soda** to me is a slightly flat sprite
**Honey pomelo** is a ripe bright grapefruit with out the biting notes and is slightly sweet
**Pink guava** brings out more of the pink grapefruit notes and at this percent had a very very light hop note which works with the tequila
**Lime Tahiti** pushes those grapefruit notes up top and is noted on the inhale
**Tequila agave** is hard to describe but to me it is very similar to cactus but slightly sweeter and wetter . it is smooth no harshness or booze in the least . I am noting it more on the exhale
**NOTE** I added a drop of WS 23 and FLV sweetness to add vibrancy and sweetness to the soda . CAP grapefruit could be used around 7% instead of Honey Pomelo but it will have a slightly bitter tart note and leans more white grapefruit then pink
