Servings 1 cocktail
Calories 183kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ounces tequila blanco
- 2 ounces grapefruit juice fresh
- ½ ounce lime juice fresh
- ¼ ounce agave nectar or to taste
- 2 ounces sparkling water
Instructions
- Begin by salting the rim of your glass. I use a little honey or agave to cover half of the outer rim of a glass. Dip into course salt to prepare the rim, ensuring that none goes into the glass.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine your tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice and agave. Shake with ice for 10-15 seconds.
- Pour into a glass filled with ice. Top the glass with sparkling water and stir.
- Add a wedge of grapefruit as garnish.
Notes
- Salting the rim is not necessary, but I love what it adds to this cocktail. I never skip it.
- Fresh grapefruit juice is worth the effort and more delicious for sure. That said, I use store-bought juice often. No one will judge you.
- If you don’t have tequila blanco available, you can substitute it for lightly aged reposado tequila. We don’t recommend anejo tequila (anything that has been aged for a long time).
