Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
Place a rocks or coupe glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Tito's Handmade Vodka, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 0.5 oz fresh grapefruit juice, 0.25 oz orange liqueur, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and a good frost forms on the outside.
Prepare glass and strain
Discard ice/water from the chilled glass if you used that method. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled glass using a hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and grapefruit pulp.
Top (optional) and garnish
If you prefer a slightly lighter, effervescent finish, top with about 1 oz club soda. Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim and express a grapefruit twist over the drink (pinch the peel to release oils) then drop it in.
Serve
Serve immediately. Recommend stirring gently once if you added club soda to integrate. Enjoy responsibly.
