Pistachio 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, delivering a tart, lively flavor that no bottled mixer can match. A salted rim adds just the right savory contrast, and a splash of sparkling water gives the whole thing a light, effervescent finish. Because every ingredient is naturally simple and whole ā spirits, fresh citrus, agave, and salt ā there's zero concern about hidden nut-based additives or cross-contamination from tree nuts like pistachios. The optional agave syrup lets you dial in the sweetness to your exact taste without reaching for anything processed or unfamiliar. It comes together in just a few stirs, making it an effortless choice for entertaining or a quiet night in. Serve it immediately over ice while it's still cold and fizzy for the best possible sip.
