Paloma Mocktail

This Paloma Mocktail is bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Made with fresh grapefruit and lime juice, a hint of simple syrup, and fizzy grapefruit sparkling water, it's a light and citrusy sip that’s just as satisfying as the original — minus the booze.

  • Stir to combine, then top with sparkling water and garnish with a slice of grapefruit.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust simple syrup to taste or swap with honey or agave.
