Turmeric 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 and a squeeze of lime do all the heavy lifting here, delivering that signature tart-sweet punch that makes this drink so iconic. The agave syrup keeps things naturally sweetened, and a generous pour of sparkling water gives it that effervescent lift you want in every sip. A salted rim ties the whole thing together, balancing the citrus with just the right savory edge. For anyone navigating anti-inflammatory dietary protocols or simply avoiding certain spices, this recipe is naturally in the clear ā every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. Shake it up, pour it over ice, and let that grapefruit slice do its garnish duty with pride.
