Nutmeg 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 a tart, slightly bitter backbone that pairs beautifully with the clean kick of blanco tequila. A touch of agave syrup rounds out the edges without making things overly sweet, and a splash of sparkling water keeps the whole glass lively from first sip to last. The salted rim adds just enough savory contrast to make every sip pop. Because this recipe is built entirely from fresh fruit, spirits, and a few pantry staples, there's nothing hidden to worry about ā what you see is exactly what you get. It comes together in minutes with no special equipment, just a glass, some ice, and a good squeeze of citrus.
