OK, so this Cilantro Paloma came into my life last August and it might have just changed it 🤷‍♀️ … for the better!

We were putting on one of our first outdoor events and my most beloved task is creating the welcome cocktail. I think we all know by now that cocktails are one of our greatest passions in life here at @ivgreenhouse!

Welcome cocktails have to be two main things…

Easily Batchable! (Create in large containers for multiple people at once!)
Unexpected & Delicious! (You’re setting the tone for the entire evening here!)

This one was a real winner.

Really I’m not sure why I had never tweaked the classic Paloma recipe before! Grapefruit & lime are staples in the classic and don’t get me wrong, it’s a classic for a reason and I’m definitely not reinventing the wheel here, but THIS CILANTRO GRAPEFRUIT PALOMA is EVERYTHING.

The addition of cilantro gives it that really fresh herbaceous kick taking it up just a notch. It is for sure going to knock you friends socks off, or just your partner or maybe just yourself depending on where in the world you are and what restrictions look like for you!

Also been having a lot of fun with cocktail reels & stories over on Instagram so if you’re inclined, go follow us @ivgreenhouse!

So really, let’s get to it! Grab your favorite cocktail glass, the tequila and let’s make this delight together! 💚
