Eggless Classic Grapefruit Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this Paloma is the kind of cocktail that tastes like a warm afternoon no matter what season it is. Fresh grapefruit juice does the heavy lifting here, bringing a natural tartness that balances beautifully against the blanco tequila and a touch of agave syrup. A squeeze of lime and a salted rim add just enough contrast to make every sip feel intentional. The good news for anyone avoiding eggs is that this drink is naturally free of them ā no foamy egg-white garnish, no hidden binders, just clean, honest ingredients shaken over ice. Sparkling water tops it all off with a gentle fizz that keeps things light without overpowering the citrus. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a shaker and a highball glass, making it as easy to pull off for a solo happy hour as it is for a crowd.
