Almond Free Classic Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this cocktail is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting on a sun-drenched patio no matter where you actually are. Fresh grapefruit juice does the heavy lifting here, delivering that signature bittersweet punch that no bottled mixer can replicate. A squeeze of lime, a touch of agave syrup, and good blanco tequila round everything out into something that feels both simple and a little special. The salted rim adds just enough contrast to make every sip pop. Since every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts, there's zero guesswork ā no label-checking, no wondering about hidden almond extracts or flavored syrups with questionable sourcing. It comes together directly in the glass in just a few stirs, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying it. Garnish with a fresh grapefruit wedge and you've got a cocktail that looks as good as it tastes.
