Wheat 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 a tart, sun-soaked flavor that no bottled mixer can match. Every ingredient in this drink is naturally free of wheat and gluten ā blanco tequila, agave syrup, citrus, and sparkling water are all clean from the start, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden grain-based additives. The salted rim adds a savory contrast that makes each sip pop, and shaking everything over ice gives it that perfectly chilled, slightly frothy texture. It comes together in just a few minutes with nothing more than a shaker, a glass, and some fresh fruit ā simple enough for a weeknight, impressive enough for a crowd.
