This Virgin Paloma is a crisp, citrus-forward drink that captures the essence of its alcoholic counterpart without the spirit. The bright acidity of lime juice balances the sweet, floral notes of grapefruit, while a touch of agave syrup rounds out the profile. Topped with soda water, it is light, effervescent, and highly refreshing. The salt rim adds a subtle savoury contrast that enhances the fruit flavours, making it an ideal choice for warm afternoons or as a sophisticated zero-proof option at any gathering.
