Red Meat Allergy Friendly 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 celebration. Fresh grapefruit juice and a squeeze of lime do all the heavy lifting here, delivering a tart, lightly sweet 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 lively, effervescent finish. The good news for anyone navigating a red meat allergy is that cocktails like this are naturally in the clear ā every ingredient here is plant-based and straightforward, with zero hidden animal proteins to worry about. Blanco tequila, fresh citrus, a touch of agave, and sparkling water are as clean and simple as a drink list gets. Whether you're hosting a crowd or just unwinding after a long day, this is the kind of glass you'll want to keep refilling.
