Peanut Free Paleo Paloma
This bright, citrusy cocktail is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel like a warm-weather celebration. Fresh grapefruit juice and a squeeze of lime bring serious zing, while a quick honey syrup made from just honey and water adds a natural, rounded sweetness that store-bought mixes can never quite match. The salt-rimmed glass and that final splash of chilled sparkling water pull everything together into something that looks and tastes genuinely impressive. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from peanuts or tree nut cross-contact concerns, so you can mix and sip with total confidence. Shaking it over ice until the shaker frosts up is a small but satisfying step that really does make a difference in texture and temperature. Serve it immediately with a fresh grapefruit wedge and you've got a cocktail that's as beautiful as it is refreshing.
