Few cocktails hit as refreshingly as a well-made Paloma — tart, a little sweet, and endlessly drinkable on a warm afternoon. This version keeps things beautifully simple: blanco tequila, freshly squeezed grapefruit and lime juice, a touch of agave syrup, and a fizzy finish from sparkling water. That salted rim adds just the right savory contrast to all that bright citrus. For anyone managing a nickel sensitivity, cocktails can be a surprisingly tricky territory, since many commercial mixers and flavored sodas contain additives or ingredients that don't always play nicely with low-nickel needs. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, so you're not left guessing about what's in your glass. Shaking it fresh rather than reaching for a pre-made mix means you stay in full control of what goes into the drink. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge and settle in — this one is as pretty as it is satisfying.

Spread the coarse salt in a shallow, flat dish. Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a highball glass, then press and rotate the rim into the salt until evenly coated. Fill the glass with ice.
Combine the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and agave syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
