Smoke: The quintessential Laphroaig flavour

The Paloma cocktail was originally invented in Mexico in the 1950s, made with tequila and more recently popularised with smoky mezcal. This grapefruit flavour in the Paloma comes either from a premium grapefruit soda, or freshly squeezed red or pink grapefruit juice and simple syrup with a dash of lime juice.

The citrus tang of grapefruit pairs beautifully with our whisky, enhancing the smoky, quintessential Laphroaig flavour, added to that a salty rim, you have the perfect combination of peat, salt and fire in a glass.

Making a Laphroaig Paloma is remarkably simple, so there’s no need to feel intimidated at the thought of learning yet another cocktail recipe, or at having to buy niche ingredients you might not use again.
