Walnut Free Classic Paloma
Few cocktails are as refreshing as this citrus-forward classic, built around the bright, slightly bitter punch of fresh grapefruit juice and a generous pour of blanco tequila. A squeeze of lime and a touch of agave syrup round out the flavors beautifully, while sparkling water adds that satisfying effervescence without overwhelming the drink. The salted rim brings everything together, giving you a little savory contrast with every sip. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so you can mix and serve with complete confidence ā no label-checking required. It comes together directly in the glass, which means minimal cleanup and maximum enjoyment. Whether you're hosting a summer gathering or just unwinding after a long day, this is the kind of drink that feels both effortless and impressive.
