Dobel Tequila

With the U.S. Open underway, everyone is getting into the tennis mood — and there are even tennis-themed cocktails for you to enjoy while watching the sport. Today’s tennis cocktail comes from Dobel Tequila, which is promoting its cristalino tequila in a themed paloma for the event and is working with tennis pros Taylor Fritz and Aryna Sabalenka.

Cristalino tequilas are having a surge in popularity, as people enjoy the aged flavors of tequila combined with the crystal clear look which is great for mixing into cocktails. The Paloma is a beloved and easy to make tequila cocktail combining tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda which is particularly refreshing for a warm day. The Dobel version adds a black salt rim for a touch of glamor and a dehydrated grapefruit slice for an easy and fragrant garnish.

The recipe is a simple one to make, but if you don’t have the ingredients on hand and you want an easy way to get everything you need, you can also order a cocktail kit for the drink.

“In recent years, we’ve seen U.S. consumer interest in premium tequilas increase exponentially – led by consumption of the ever-popular paloma and margarita cocktails. With consumer interest in tennis also expanding in recent years, particularly among a younger multicultural audience, it was the perfect match for Maestro Dobel to become the ‘Official Tequila’ of the US Open last year,” said Lander Otegui, SVP Marketing at Proximo Spirits.
