Chestnut Free Classic Grapefruit Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this Paloma is the kind of cocktail that makes any occasion feel like a celebration. Fresh grapefruit juice does the heavy lifting here, delivering that signature tart-sweet punch that no bottled mixer can replicate. A squeeze of lime and a touch of agave syrup round out the flavors beautifully, while sparkling water gives the whole drink a lively, effervescent finish. The salted rim adds just enough savory contrast to make every sip more interesting than the last. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's zero guesswork or label-reading required ā just shake, pour, and enjoy. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a shaker, a highball glass, and a handful of ice, making it as easy to pull off as it is impressive to serve.
