Chestnut Free Classic Tequila Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this tequila-and-grapefruit cocktail is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel like a warm evening on a patio. Fresh grapefruit juice and a squeeze of lime do all the heavy lifting here, giving you that perfect balance of tart and slightly sweet without relying on anything artificial or processed. A salted rim adds just enough savory contrast to make every sip pop, and a splash of sparkling water keeps things light and lively. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, cocktails can sometimes be a minefield of flavored syrups and pre-made mixes with murky ingredient lists ā this one sidesteps all of that by keeping things beautifully simple. Blanco tequila, fresh-squeezed juice, optional agave syrup, and sparkling water are all you need. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a glass, some ice, and a bar spoon, making it just as easy to whip up for a crowd as it is for a quiet night in.
