The New Aldi Zarita Grapefruit Paloma Has Instagram Vibing
If you're a fan of tequila and grapefruit, you've probably tried a paloma cocktail recipe or two. Maybe you've even tried three. Regardless, this popular drink typically contains tequila, grapefruit juice or soda, lime juice, and salt. Simply mix it up, pour it over ice, and you've got yourself a tropical experience in the form of a drink.
That being said, if you're not particularly crafty with mixing drinks or if you just don't keep cocktail ingredients around, have no fear. Aldi has a grapefruit paloma cocktail that's — get this — ready-to-drink upon opening. All you've got to do is open up that bottle and get yourself a glass of ice. We know, we know ... amazing.
However, not only does Aldi have the concept of ready-to-drink cocktails down pat, but customers are loving the grapefruit paloma. Instagram in particular can't get enough of this sweet and summery drink, and honestly, who can blame 'em?
Aldi's Zarita grapefruit paloma cocktail is 'sweet like candy'
When it comes to tropical cocktails that'll have you feeling like you're on a beach, look no further than Aldi's read-to-drink Zarita cocktails. Aldi sells countless flavors of Zarita margaritas (say that ten times fast, we dare you), but the real hidden treasure here is the Zarita paloma.
According to an Instagram post by Aldi Made Me Do It, the paloma boasts an alcohol content of 13.9%, which will "creep up on you fast." The drink is made with agave wine and grapefruit juice. Yum.
Aldi shoppers had positive reviews of the drink, with some simply saying it was good, while another commented that the paloma was "sweet like candy." Meanwhile, a member of the Aldi Aisle of Shame Facebook group shared that she actually had to tame the paloma with ginger beer because otherwise it really "[packed] a punch." Promising, if you're looking for something strong.
