Cashew Free Classic Grapefruit Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and refreshingly effervescent, this classic paloma is the kind of cocktail that tastes like a warm afternoon no matter when you make it. Fresh grapefruit juice does the heavy lifting here, delivering that signature tart-sweet punch that no bottled mixer can quite replicate. A squeeze of lime and a touch of agave syrup round everything out beautifully, while a salted rim adds just enough savory contrast to make each sip more interesting than the last. The whole thing comes together in minutes with a shaker and a handful of ice ā no fancy bar equipment required. Every single ingredient in this drink is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's zero need to scrutinize labels or worry about what's hiding in a pre-made cocktail mix. Top it with sparkling water poured gently down the side of the glass, and you've got a drink that looks as good as it tastes.
