Savour a South African Paloma at Cape Grace This World Paloma Day

The Bascule Bar unveils the Protea Pineapple Paloma, a South African twist on Mexico’s classic tequila cocktail, created with Patrón for Fairmont’s Global Bar Programme.

A cherished tradition across Fairmont’s global portfolio, World Paloma Day pays homage to one of Mexico’s most iconic cocktails through a cross-continental celebration in partnership with Patrón tequila.

This year’s festivities form part of Fairmont’s newly expanded Global Bar Programme, where select properties – including Cape Grace and London’s Savoy – host exclusive Paloma-inspired activations. These activations unite guests worldwide through the art of mixology and inspired hospitality.

To mark the occasion, The Bascule Bar has crafted a bespoke twist on the classic cocktail, blending local botanicals with the timeless allure of tequila.

Protea Pineapple Paloma

Patrón Reposado Tequila, grapefruit juice, honey syrup, protea & pineapple oleo, soda.

Infused with the delicate fragrance of South Africa’s protea flower and the tropical brightness of pineapple, this exclusive creation honours Cape Town’s natural beauty while staying true to Paloma’s heritage.

Join the limited-edition cocktail experience at The Bascule Bar from 22 to 25 May – savour, celebrate, and toast to World Paloma Day, reimagined with a South African flourish.
