Ingredients
- salt for the rim
- 60 ml (2 ounces) tequila blanco
- 60 ml (2 ounces) pink grapefruit juice freshly squeezed
- 15 ml (1 ounce) lime juice freshly squeezed
- 15 ml (½ ounce) simple syrup or agave syrup
- ice cubes
- 90 ml (3 ounces) soda water or sparkling water
Instructions
- For the salted rim, moisten the rim of the glass with a lime or grapefruit wedge and dip the rim into a plate of salt (I like to use a flaky salt like Maldon, here).
- If you're just making one drink: fill a salt-rimmed glass with a generous handful of ice, then pour over the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice and syrup. Top with soda, give it a stir and garnish with a slice of grapefruit.
- If you're making a batch of drinks: combine the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, simple syrup and soda water/sparkling water with a generous few handfuls of ice, stir to combine and to chill it down. Pour the mixture into salt-rimmed glasses which have a handful of ice in them and garnish with a slice of grapefruit.
