Seed Oil Free Paleo Margarita
A classic margarita is one of those drinks that should be simple, but commercial mixes are often loaded with refined sweeteners and mystery ingredients that have no business being in your glass. This version keeps things clean and genuinely delicious ā just 100% agave tequila, fresh-squeezed lime and orange juice, and a quick honey syrup you make yourself in about two minutes on the stovetop. The honey syrup is the real secret here, dissolving smoothly into the shaker and adding a floral, rounded sweetness that blows triple sec out of the water. Every ingredient is whole and recognizable, which means no seed oils, no corn syrup, and nothing you'd have to squint at a label to decode. A hard shake over ice gets everything perfectly chilled and slightly frothy before you strain it over a fresh rocks glass ā salt rim entirely optional but highly recommended. It's the kind of cocktail that tastes like it came from a great bar, except you made it at home with ingredients you actually trust.
