Method
Glass & Garnish
Prepare glass
Run the lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or highball glass to moisten. Dip the rim into Tajín spread on a small plate so the seasoning adheres evenly. Set the glass aside.
Garnish
Cut a ruby red grapefruit wheel or wedge for garnish and reserve. If you want a prickly-pear accent, reserve a thin slice of fresh prickly pear (optional).
Cocktail
Build & shake
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Teremana Reposado, 0.5 oz Cantina tequila, 2 oz fresh ruby red grapefruit juice, 1 oz prickly pear purée, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, and a handful of ice. Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.
Top with soda
Gently top the cocktail with 2 oz soda water. Stir once or twice lightly with a bar spoon to integrate but preserve effervescence.
Finish & serve
Float a thin ribbon of prickly pear purée or drizzle 0.25 oz extra prickly pear down the side for color contrast (optional). Garnish with the grapefruit wheel on the rim and a light dusting of Tajín over the grapefruit if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
