Which cocktail is described as a tequila cocktail in the material?

• A. Margarita
• B. Paloma
• C. Tequila Sunrise
• D. Bloody Maria

Answer: (B)

Tequila cocktails are drinks where tequila is the dominant spirit and the mixer emphasizes its agave character with bright citrus or fruit flavors. The Paloma does just that: tequila paired with lime and topped with grapefruit soda creates a tequila-forward drink whose grapefruit notes and refreshing fizz come from the mixer, making it a classic example described as a tequila cocktail in the material. While a Margarita also centers on tequila, it’s typically described as a lime-sour style with orange liqueur, not just a straight tequila-forward mix. Tequila Sunrise highlights orange juice and grenadine for a sunrise effect, and Bloody Maria is a savory Bloody Mary variant, often categorized by its tomato-spice profile rather than simply as a tequila cocktail. So Paloma fits the material’s label of a tequila cocktail.
