1
Prepare glass
Rub the grapefruit wedge or lime around the rim of a highball or Collins glass. Dip the rim into the coarse salt spread on a small plate to create a thin salted rim. Fill the glass with ice and set aside.
2
Mix base
In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass filled halfway with ice, combine 2 oz blanco tequila, 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
3
Assemble
Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Top with 2 oz grapefruit soda (or 2 oz club soda plus a 1 oz splash of grapefruit soda if using both) and gently stir once to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness with a small additional splash of simple syrup if desired.
4
Garnish and serve
Garnish with the grapefruit wedge and a lime wheel on the rim. Serve with a straw if desired. Encourage sipping to enjoy the balance of tart grapefruit, bright lime, and tequila.
