Brazil Nut Free Classic Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this classic cocktail is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel like a warm evening on a patio. Fresh grapefruit juice does the heavy lifting here, delivering that signature tart-sweet punch that no bottled mixer can quite replicate. A squeeze of lime, a touch of agave syrup, and a generous pour of blanco tequila round everything out before a splash of sparkling water brings it all to life. The salted rim adds just enough savory contrast to make every sip a little more interesting. Because this recipe is built entirely from whole, single-ingredient components ā citrus, agave, tequila, and water ā there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives or cross-contact from processed products. It comes together directly in the glass in just a few steps, so there's almost no cleanup and no fuss. Whether you're mixing one for yourself or setting up a casual spread for friends, this is the kind of recipe you'll come back to again and again.
