Gluten Free Classic Tequila Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this cocktail is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel like a warm-weather celebration. Fresh grapefruit juice does the heavy lifting here, delivering a tart, slightly bitter backbone that pairs beautifully with the clean, grassy notes of blanco tequila. A squeeze of lime and a salted rim round everything out, while a splash of sparkling water gives it that satisfying effervescence. The optional agave syrup lets you dial in just the right level of sweetness without reaching for anything processed or questionable. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of gluten, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress ā just straightforward, gorgeous flavors in a glass. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a citrus squeezer, a bar spoon, and a good handful of ice.
