Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 tsp salt ((optional and approx- for salt rim))
  • 2 oz tequila (60ml (blanco or reposado, or can use mezcal))
  • 2 oz grapefruit juice (60ml)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice ((a good squeeze))
  • 1 tbsp simple syrup ((made with equal parts sugar and water, warmed to dissolve) approx - or a little more or less to taste)
  • 2 oz sparkling water/club soda (60ml (or a little more))

Instruction

  • If you want to have a salt rim on your glass, pour some salt on a small plate then rub the edge of the glass with either a slice of grapefruit or lime. Dip the top of the glass in salt and carefully turn over so you don't knock the salt off.
  • Add the tequila, grapefruit juice and lime juice to the glass (traditionally hi-ball but I have used a shorter rocks-style glass here). Add some simple syrup (a little more/less to taste), stir to mix then add a few cubes of ice. Top up the glass with sparkling water/club soda and serve.
