paloma

Dove in Spanish

Paloma is Spanish for dove, appearing in English primarily as a given name and as a cocktail made with tequila and grapefruit soda.

The drink is popular in Mexico and increasingly in American bars: I'll have a paloma instead of a margarita.

The name evokes peace and gentleness, as doves traditionally symbolize.
