Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    If desired, rim the glass with salt. To do this, rub a slice of Ruby Red grapefruit around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Juice the Grapefruit

    Cut a Ruby Red grapefruit in half and use a juicer or reamer to extract the fresh juice. Measure out 3 oz of the juice and set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix the Drink

    In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add 2 oz of tequila, 3 oz of fresh Ruby Red grapefruit juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

  4. 4

    Shake

    Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, or serve it straight up in a chilled glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish with a slice of Ruby Red grapefruit on the rim of the glass.
