Wheat Free Classic Tequila Paloma
Bright, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this tequila paloma is the kind of cocktail that tastes like a warm afternoon 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 any artificial mixers or syrups. The salted rim adds a savory contrast that makes every sip more interesting, and a splash of sparkling water keeps things light and lively. Every single ingredient in this drink is naturally free of wheat and gluten ā no label-reading required, no hidden grain-based additives to worry about. Blanco tequila, fresh citrus, agave, and sparkling water are as clean and straightforward as a cocktail gets. If you want a touch of sweetness, the optional agave syrup blends in beautifully without tipping the balance. This is the kind of drink you'll want to make again and again, whether you're hosting a crowd or just treating yourself on a weeknight.
