Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this tequila paloma is the kind of cocktail that tastes like it came from a great bar ā except you made it in about two minutes. The real magic here is fresh-squeezed grapefruit and lime juice doing all the heavy lifting, so there's no need for sugary pre-made mixers or soda-fountain syrups loaded with added sweeteners. The only optional touch of sweetness comes from a small amount of agave syrup, which you can leave out entirely if you prefer to keep things completely clean. Sparkling water brings the fizz without any of the corn syrup or artificial flavoring you'd find in commercial grapefruit sodas. A salted rim ties everything together, playing off the tart citrus in the most satisfying way. It's a genuinely simple build that proves you don't need sweetened shortcuts to make a cocktail worth sipping slowly.
