Based off the popular Tequila cocktail , we have another top tier Mocktail for you. This is the Nopaloma.
The Nopaloma or Virgin Paloma is a Mocktail variant of the famous Paloma cocktail. In the original cocktail you make use of Tequila , Lime Juice, and Pink Grapefruit soda. In this version we are swapping out the Agave of the Tequila with some Agave Nectar/ Syrup to add that little bit of sweet to the mix.
It seems a very basic recipe and drink but with as few ingredients as it has , it strikes a good middle ground between sweet and sour with the Lime Juice and Agave Nectar. On top of this , it is normal to rim the glass you drink from with salt like with a Margarita. This adds another flavour dimension to the drink and combines well with the sweet and sour balance previously mentioned.
It is the sort of drink you would enjoy slowly sipping on and it might be worth swapping the Grapefruit Juice out for the original recipes Grapefruit Soda if you can find some. Here is how it made.

1 ½ oz. (45ml) Lime Juice
1 oz. (30ml) Grapefruit Juice
