Suerte Paloma Cocktail
Suerte Paloma Cocktail is a real-tequila canned cocktail: 100% agave Suerte Blanco tequila blended with fresh, tangy grapefruit juice and sparkling spring water — 7% ABV, 4-pack of 12 oz cans — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Suerte is a Boulder, Colorado–based independent tequila brand co-founded by Laurence Spiewak, producing additive-free tequila at its own dedicated distillery, Tequilera Símbolo (NOM 1530), in the highlands of Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco — one of the roughly 2% of tequila brands with its own distillery, and among the fewer than 1% using 100% tahona crushing. The RTD line launched as "pure 100% agave tequila canned cocktails" made with Suerte Blanco — slow-roasted brick-oven agave, 100% tahona-crushed, natural spring water, open-air fermentation, double-distilled in stainless with copper components — now selling in 15+ states. The Paloma: "It's the Mexican way of saying 'life is good.'"
Tasting notes: bright grapefruit zest on the nose with floral agave character; tangy real grapefruit juice balanced by natural spring-water sparkle and earthy blanco agave on the palate; a crisp, clean, citrus-driven finish. Three ingredients, no hard-seltzer shortcuts — this is a real-tequila cocktail, not a malt beverage.
Why buy this RTD? Because it is built on a genuinely craft, single-distillery blanco (NOM 1530) rather than commodity tequila — and it earned Double Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition plus Double Gold at the 2024 SIP Awards. Browse the Suerte brand collection, more ready-to-drink cocktails, and other fine spirits.
Serving note: serve ice-cold straight from the can or poured over ice in a highball; garnish with a grapefruit wedge and salted rim. Pairs with tacos al pastor, ceviche, and grilled shrimp. Two cans ≈ one standard 40% shot's alcohol.
