If you’re looking for the perfect way to cool down this June, it’s time to embrace the refreshing zing of a Paloma. This grapefruit-forward tequila cocktail has become the go-to drink across the globe—and Singapore’s top bars are getting in on the action.

To celebrate the rise of the Paloma, PATRÓN tequila is teaming up with 15 of the island’s best cocktail bars as part of its Cocktail Masters by Academia Patrón competition. Each bar is showcasing a special signature Paloma, crafted by a competing bartender vying for the coveted Cocktail Master title. You can also enjoy a classic Paloma—featuring PATRÓN Reposado, fresh grapefruit, agave syrup, lime, and a splash of soda.

Every Paloma sold counts as a vote for the bartender behind the bar’s signature serve. At the end of the month, six top-sellers will join earlier Margarita round winners to battle it out in the Grand Final at COMO on 21 July. There, judges will score them based on presentation, flair, and flavour. The grand prize? A tequila pilgrimage to Hacienda PATRÓN in Jalisco, Mexico—home of the revered Weber Blue Agave.
