0-Proof Paloma

Zesty, Bright & A Little Spicy 🍊🌶️

There’s something about the tang of grapefruit, the sparkle of soda, and a salted rim that just feels like sunshine in a glass. And when I tell you this mocktail hits all the right notes — I mean it. This is the kind of drink that makes you want to pour a second round for your friends before you even take your first sip.

This is the 0-Proof Paloma, and she’s got a little attitude (in the best way possible).

I made this one with a few of my favourite zero-proof staples:

• Free Spirited Tequila from Soberish Mocktail Shoppe
• Cove Grapefruit Probiotic Soda for that good gut fizz
• A generous Tajín rim for a spicy-salty bite
• And of course — fresh lime juice and a pinch of sea salt to bring it all together.

Ingredients (serves 1)

• Tajín, for rimming
• 1 oz Free Spirited Tequila
• ¼ to ½ oz fresh lime juice (depending how limey you like it)
• Pinch of sea salt
• Cove Grapefruit Probiotic Soda, to top
• Ice
• Garnish: Lime or grapefruit wedge

To make:

• Rim your glass with Tajín — run a lime wedge around the rim and dip it into a plate of the chili-lime salt blend.
• Fill the glass with ice.
• Add Free Spirited Tequila, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt.
• Top with Cove Grapefruit Probiotic Soda.
• Stir gently and garnish with a lime or grapefruit wedge.

I love how this one feels like a proper cocktail — but with none of the crash.
