Why Choose Olmeca Altos Plata When Making the Palomita?

This Palomita cocktail, created by Zac Overman at L’Oursin in Seattle, Washington, is described as equal parts paloma, margarita, and spritz. We think it leans more toward a paloma, featuring distinctive floral and slightly bitter grapefruit notes paired with the brightness of Olmeca Altos tequila family, finished with the elegance of Mumm Rosé.

Olmeca Altos Plata is a great choice for the Palomita cocktail for several reasons. First, it’s a smooth and elegant tequila known for its citrus and herbal character, making it the perfect ingredient to balance the tart notes of grapefruit liqueur and fresh lemon juice.

What’s more, Olmeca Altos Plata is a premium tequila that will give your cocktail an air of sophistication and refinement. Another excellent reason to choose Altos tequila for this drink is that it’s produced in the Mexican state of Jalisco, the birthplace of tequila itself. This allows you to enjoy an authentic and high-quality tequila, complete with all the distinctive flavor and heritage of this iconic Mexican region.

The Palomita represents a wonderful fusion of traditional Mexican spirits with modern mixology innovation. With its elegant balance of flavors and sophisticated presentation, this cocktail offers the perfect opportunity to elevate any gathering while celebrating the artistry of exceptional tequila craftsmanship.

Your Questions Answered Palomette: The Ultimate Palomita Recipe

What makes Altos Tequila different from other tequilas?

Altos isn’t your average tequila — it’s the real thing. Made from 100% Blue Agave grown in Jalisco’s highlands, slow-cooked, copper-distilled, and created by bartenders who get it. Smooth, bold, and made to mix right.

What’s the best way to drink Altos Tequila?

Any way you want. It’s a winner in a Margarita or Paloma, but it also shines straight up if you’re all about flavour. Whatever the moment, Altos always sets the tone.

Is Altos Tequila made sustainably?

Absolutely — we’re serious about sustainability. We recycle agave fibers, reuse water, and cut down on waste wherever we can. Great tequila, zero guilt.

What’s the difference between Plata, Reposado, and Añejo?

Plata’s crisp and lively, Reposado’s smooth and rounded, and Añejo’s bold, rich, and full of depth. Three styles, one unmistakable Altos spirit.

Can I use Altos in cocktails other than Margaritas?

Of course. Altos steps up in any mix — Palomas, Tequila Sunrises, even an Old Fashioned if you’re in the mood to experiment. If it pours, Altos fits.
