This bright, citrusy cocktail is everything a warm-weather drink should be — tart, lightly sweet, and refreshingly fizzy from start to finish. A quick honey syrup made with just honey and water replaces refined sugar, keeping things clean and naturally sweetened without any complicated steps. Fresh-squeezed grapefruit and lime juice do the heavy lifting on flavor, giving you that bold, sun-soaked citrus punch that makes this drink so satisfying. A salted rim adds just the right savory contrast, and the chilled sparkling water at the end keeps every sip light and effervescent. The whole build is straightforward — shake, strain, top, and garnish — so it comes together fast whether you're making it for yourself or a small crowd. Every ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved, just a genuinely delicious cocktail you can mix with total confidence.
