Wheat 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 bite 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. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of wheat and gluten, so there's no label-reading or substitution stress involved ā just squeeze, stir, and sip. The salted rim adds that satisfying contrast that makes each sip taste even better than the last. It comes together directly in the glass, which means minimal cleanup and maximum enjoyment.
