Gluten Free Classic Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this 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 bittersweet punch that no bottled mixer can replicate. Blanco tequila, a squeeze of lime, and just a touch of agave syrup round everything out before a splash of sparkling water brings it all to life. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of gluten, so there's no label-reading stress or second-guessing ā just pour, stir, and sip. The salted rim adds a savory contrast that makes each sip taste even more vibrant, and the whole thing comes together in minutes with no special equipment required. Whether you're hosting a crowd or mixing up a solo happy hour, this is the kind of effortless, crowd-pleasing drink that belongs in your regular rotation.
