Ingredients
- 2 ounces tequila blanco is best
- 2 ounces fresh grapefruit juice
- ½ ounce fresh lime juice
- ¼ ounce simple syrup or use agave
- 2 dashes grapefruit bitters optional
- Soda water to top 1-2 ounces - or use Fresca, Squirt, or Topochico
- Ice
- Coarse sea salt to rim the glass - or salt + tajin for a spicy version
Instructions
- Add the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and grapefruit bitters (if using) to a shaker with several cubes of ice. Shake well. Give it a good 30 seconds of shaking to really infuse the tequila.
- Rub a lime wedge around the top of a collins or other cocktail glass. Pour the salt (or salt + tajin) onto a small plate, then dip the glass into it to coat the rim. The lime juice will help the salt stick.
- Strain the liquid into the glass over ice.
- Top with soda water.
- Garnish with a grapefruit wheel or aromatic grapefruit peel.
