Method
Rim
Prepare glass rim
Pour the Himalayan pink salt onto a small flat dish. Run the lime wedge around the outside rim of a highball or Collins glass to moisten it, then gently dip and rotate the rim into the salt so it adheres in an even band. Tap off any excess.
Cocktail
Combine base
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 2 oz Sauza Reposado tequila, 3 oz fresh grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice and, if you prefer slightly sweeter, 0.5 tsp simple syrup. Secure the shaker lid.
Shake
Shake vigorously for about 10-12 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted. This chills and lightly aerates the grapefruit juice for brightness.
Top and finish
Top the cocktail with 2 oz chilled seltzer to add effervescence. Gently stir once with a bar spoon to integrate without flattening the bubbles.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a grapefruit wedge on the rim or a thin grapefruit wheel floated on top. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
