A bright, refreshing twist on the classic Paloma, this non-alcoholic Paloma mocktail swaps tequila for hibiscus tea, layering tart and floral flavors with the gentle sweetness of grapefruit soda. Hibiscus brings a vibrant ruby color and tannic structure, lime adds sharp acidity, and grapefruit soda provides the signature Paloma sparkle—while our Spiced Cherry bitters deepen the tart fruit profile with layers of spice, cherry, and more hibiscus. If you like a mocktail that’s light and bright but still grown-up, this one is for you.

This recipe is non-alcoholic by default, but you’re welcome to add tequila.

Recipe Note

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS
The Paloma format translates beautifully to non-alcoholic drinks: citrus, carbonation, and a touch of sweetness create structure and lift without needing a spirit. Here, hibiscus tea replaces tequila not in imitation, but by providing its own strengths—tannin, acidity, and a refreshing floral edge. Grapefruit soda adds effervescence and a familiar Paloma character, making this a drink that feels complete, not like a tequila mocktail with something missing.

ABOUT THE HIBISCUS TEA
Any unsweetened hibiscus tea will work in this mocktail. For more depth, we recommend the Lagom Infusions x All The Bitter Twisty Hibiscus—blended just for us here in Chico—which incorporates mint and lemongrass for an extra aromatic layer. Whichever tea you choose, make sure it’s strongly brewed and fully chilled before shaking to avoid excess dilution.

A NOTE ON DILUTION
Because this drink is built directly in the glass, start with cold hibiscus tea and plenty of ice. Stir briefly to chill and integrate—there’s no need for a long stir, as too much melting ice can water down the flavor.

ABOUT BITTERS IN NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINKS
Cocktail bitters provide depth and balance, rounding out sweet and sour flavors while adding bite. Since All The Bitter is completely 0% ABV (unlike traditional bitters, which are around 45% alcohol), you can use as much as you like to dial in flavor and complexity without affecting the ABV of your drink.
