Yeast Free Classic Grapefruit Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this paloma is the kind of cocktail that tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did. Fresh grapefruit juice and a squeeze of lime do the heavy lifting here, delivering that perfect balance of tart and sweet without any mystery ingredients. Agave syrup steps in as the sweetener, keeping everything clean and straightforward ā no fermented additives or hidden extras to second-guess. A salted rim adds just enough savory contrast to make every sip feel intentional, and the sparkling water finish gives it that satisfying fizz. Shake it hard, pour it gently, and you've got a cocktail that looks stunning in the glass with almost zero fuss.
