Cocktail

2 oz Cazadores tequila (reposado or blanco)2 oz Fresh grapefruit juice1/2 oz Fresh lime juice1/2 oz Simple syrup (1:1) or agave nectar2 oz Grapefruit soda or club soda (to top)1 cup Ice (cubed)1 tsp Kosher salt or coarse salt (for rim, optional)1 piece Grapefruit wedge or wheel (for garnish)1 piece Lime wheel or wedge (for garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass

If you want a salted rim, rub a grapefruit or lime wedge around the rim of a highball or Collins glass. Spread the kosher or coarse salt on a small plate and dip the wet rim into the salt to coat. Fill the glass with ice and set aside.

Shake tequila & juices

In a cocktail shaker add 2 oz Cazadores tequila, 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup (or agave). Add a handful of ice (about 4-6 large cubes). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until chilled.

Strain & top

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. Top with about 2 oz grapefruit soda (or club soda if using plain soda) to your taste. Gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine — do not over-stir so the soda retains some effervescence.

Garnish & serve

Garnish with a grapefruit wheel and/or a lime wedge on the rim. Serve with a straw if desired.
