Cashew Free Classic Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and effortlessly 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 a tart, slightly bitter backbone that pairs beautifully with the clean heat of blanco tequila. A touch of agave syrup rounds out the edges, and a splash of sparkling water gives the whole thing a lively, effervescent finish. The salted rim adds just enough savory contrast to make every sip more interesting than the last. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's nothing to second-guess or swap out ā just squeeze, stir, and pour. It's the kind of cocktail that looks impressive but comes together in under two minutes, making it perfect for entertaining or a quiet night in.
