Seed Oil Free Paleo Paloma
This bright, citrusy cocktail is everything a warm-weather drink should be — tart, lightly sweet, and refreshingly fizzy. The honey syrup comes together in just a couple of minutes on the stove, giving you a clean, natural sweetener that keeps things simple and wholesome. Fresh-squeezed grapefruit and lime juice do all the heavy lifting here, delivering bold citrus flavor without any bottled mixers or mystery additives. A pinch of sea salt both rims the glass and goes right into the shaker, which sounds like a small detail but makes a noticeable difference in how the flavors pop. Blanco tequila and sparkling water round everything out for a drink that feels celebratory without being fussy. Since every single ingredient is exactly what it says it is — no refined oils, no processed syrups, no shortcuts — you can sip this one without a second thought.
