Inspired with flavours from Mexico, Australian-owned Honeysuckle distillery has launched its fruity Paloma Spritz. 

Packaged in a distinct multicoloured can, the cocktail joins the distillery’s portfolio of hard seltzers, spritzes and ready-to-drink soda cocktails, as a low-calorie and gluten-free alternative to beer and wine. 

Brewed with agave spirit, fresh grapefruit, lime and soda, the Paloma is ideal for margarita enthusiasts with its refreshing flavour profile. 

Honeysuckle co-founder Phil Henderson said fruit garnish can be added to enliven the drink. 

“The Paloma Spritz also has a pinch of Murray River pink salt in it, which really draws out the natural flavours and features of the drink,” said Henderson. 

The Paloma Spritz is available on Honeysuckle’s website for RRP $24.99 per four pack.
