Paloma “the dove”

COCKTAIL

The Paloma (Spanish for “dove”) is a tequila-based cocktail. This drink is most commonly prepared by mixing tequila, lime juice,[1] and a grapefruit-flavored soda such as Fresca, Squirt, or Jarritos and served on the rocks with a lime wedge. Adding salt to the rim of the glass is also an option. Wikipedia
