Cinco de Mayo and tequila just go together, and the Paloma is the vehicle to get you there. A delicious highball of tequila and grapefruit soda, and lots of ice in this tall cooler.

What’s Wrong with the Blood and Sand Cocktail?
The Blood and Sand Cocktail isn't everyone's cup of whisky. Here are a couple variations that might broaden its appeal: one with port and a big, peaty Scotch, the other a mezcal version.
Short and evil: the Devil’s Soul cocktail
The Devil's Soul cocktail: rye whiskey, smoky mezcal, two amaros, and a dollop of St. Germaine.
Tequila and mezcal — messing with the Negroni
Agavoni — the "Tequila Negroni" — tequila or mescal, sweet vermouth and Campari, with a dash of bitters.
Margarita — the Tequila Daisy
The “daisy” is a sour made with triple sec or orange curaçao instead of straight sugar. The Margarita is one of the most famous examples: white tequila, lime juice, Cointeau and sugar.
Tequila and Campari—The Amargo Cocktail
The Amargo cocktail: tequila, Campari, lime and lemon juices.
