Paloma
The Paloma. Its origin story is nebulous, but most reports place its creation sometime after the invention of Squirt in Phoenix, Arizona in 1938 and before Mexico started importing soda in 1955. It's an uncomplicated cocktail usually involving blanco tequila, grapefruit soda, and sometimes a squeeze of lime.
