Few cocktails are as refreshing as this bright, citrus-forward drink — tart grapefruit, a squeeze of lime, and clean blanco tequila over ice make for something that tastes like a warm afternoon in the best possible way. For anyone managing a nickel sensitivity, cocktails can be a surprisingly tricky area, since many mixers, flavored syrups, and canned sodas contain additives or ingredients that can be problematic. This recipe keeps things beautifully simple: fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, and sparkling water are all low-nickel choices that let you sip without second-guessing the ingredient list. The salted rim adds a savory contrast that makes every sip pop, and the whole thing comes together with just a quick stir — no blender, no complicated technique. Squeezing your own citrus rather than reaching for bottled juice is the move here, both for flavor and for keeping the ingredient list clean and straightforward. It's the kind of drink that looks impressive on a table but takes almost no effort to pull off.
