Peanut 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 any artificial mixes or syrups. A salted rim adds just enough savory contrast to make every sip pop, and the sparkling water at the end keeps things light and effervescent. For anyone navigating peanut allergies, cocktails can sometimes be a surprising minefield ā flavored spirits, pre-made mixes, and bar syrups occasionally carry unexpected risks. This one is built entirely from whole, straightforward ingredients, so you know exactly what's going into your glass. The optional agave syrup is a nice touch if your grapefruit runs a little tart, but the drink is genuinely delicious either way. Mix one up, garnish with that grapefruit wedge, and enjoy something that tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did.
