THE ENTOURAGE GROUP is once again bringing back one of its most beloved annual moments: Paloma Day. From today, May 18 through May 31, this iconic cocktail takes centre stage at the restaurants of THE ENTOURAGE GROUP. The Paloma is a Mexican cocktail traditionally made with tequila and grapefruit soda. Is the Paloma your favourite summer cocktail, or would you like to try one for the first time? Then you know where to go during this period!

As we have mentioned before, in the US they celebrate not only a general cocktail day, but also dedicated days for specific cocktails, including ‘World Paloma Day’ on May 22. It’s great to see THE ENTOURAGE GROUP embracing this occasion across its restaurants!
