The salted rim adds just enough savory contrast to make every sip feel intentional and balanced. For anyone navigating a seeds-free lifestyle, this recipe is a genuinely easy win ā every ingredient is straightforward, with no hidden seed oils, garnish seeds, or seasoning blends to second-guess. Shake it up, pour it over ice, and let that grapefruit slice do its thing.
