For a more island-style approach to the classic Paloma, we like to go rogue and swap out the tequila for a white overproof rum. This way you still get the citrusy pop of freshness from the grapefruit and the lime, layered over a fruity yet spirited base, finishing on lingering notes of spice and a touch of oak. Very intriguing!
