The Paloma is a grapefruit and lime cocktail with a dry, bitter edge. Belvoir lean into that: real grapefruit juice gives this a genuine citrus bitterness that separates it from sweeter fruit sodas. Agave extract softens the acidity without making it cloying, lime adds a clean zesty back note, and elderberry juice from concentrate accounts for the faint pink colour. The first sip is grapefruit-forward and sharp, with the bitterness from the juice sitting alongside a dry quinine-like quality. Carbonation is lively. At 18 kcal per 100ml, it sits at the lighter end of the category. The overall character is dry and citrus-driven, closer to tonic territory than fruit drink.
