Technique
Build
The Zero-Proof Paloma keeps grapefruit, lime, and agave from the classic Mexican highball and skips tequila—or uses a non-alcoholic agave spirit when available. Salted rim optional, soda for length. It pairs with the Zero-Proof Margarita as a core agave-style mocktail for summer hosting.

Did you know?
“Palomas already drink like a grapefruit soda highball—removing tequila still leaves a complete, bitter-citrus cooler that hosts well.”

Bartender's Note
Fresh grapefruit juice beats soda alone. NA tequila optional; without it, keep agave and citrus assertive.
