Brazil Nut Free Classic Tequila Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this tequila paloma is the kind of cocktail that makes any occasion feel like a celebration. Fresh grapefruit juice and a squeeze of lime do all the heavy lifting here, delivering a tart, lightly sweet flavor that no bottled mixer can match. A salted rim adds just the right savory contrast, and a splash of sparkling water gives the whole drink a lively, effervescent finish. Because it's built entirely from whole, simple ingredients ā blanco tequila, fresh citrus, agave syrup, and sparkling water ā there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about unexpected additives sneaking into your glass. The optional agave syrup lets you dial the sweetness up or down depending on how tart your grapefruit runs that day. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a glass, some ice, and a bar spoon, making it as easy to pull off on a Tuesday night as it is to serve at a backyard gathering.
