Legume 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 sweet without relying on any syrups or mixers that might sneak in unwanted ingredients. A salted rim adds a savory contrast that makes every sip pop, and a splash of sparkling water keeps things light and lively. For anyone navigating a legume-free lifestyle, cocktails can occasionally be a minefield ā some flavored spirits and commercial mixers contain surprising additives ā but this one is built entirely from clean, whole ingredients you can trust. The optional agave syrup is a natural sweetener that fits right in without any fuss. It comes together in minutes with just a glass, some ice, and a good stir, making it as easy to pull off on a Tuesday night as it is to serve at a dinner party.
