Paloma

Punchy grapefruit meets zesty lime, with a touch of bitterness underneath so it lands tangy and tart instead of sweet. Tequila-free is the brand's own phrasing and it is honest, because nothing here pretends to be agave. A can runs about 50 calories, sweetened with organic sugar and no artificial sweeteners, and sits under 0.5% alcohol by volume rather than a true zero. Free AF started in New Zealand, and its point of difference is Afterglow, a plant-based ingredient that produces warmth and a tingle in place of alcohol. The brand also directs a share of sales to the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Serve this over ice in a tall glass with a lime wedge, and salt the rim if that is how you take a paloma.
