Cocktail

2 oz Reposado tequila (e.g., Cutwater Tequila Reposado)2 oz Fresh grapefruit juice1/2 oz Fresh lime juice1/2 oz Simple syrup (1:1)2 oz Grapefruit soda (or sparkling grapefruit soda)1 tsp Salt for rim1 cup Ice1 piece Grapefruit wedge or wheel (for garnish)1 piece Lime wheel or wedge (optional garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare the glass

Run a grapefruit or lime wedge around the rim of a highball or Collins glass. Pour the salt onto a small plate, then dip and turn the moistened rim into the salt to coat lightly. Fill the glass with ice and set aside.

Mix the base

In a cocktail shaker, add the reposado tequila (2 oz), fresh grapefruit juice (2 oz), fresh lime juice (1/2 oz), and simple syrup (1/2 oz). Fill the shaker with ice, cap it, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled.

Assemble the drink

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared iced glass. Top with grapefruit soda (about 2 oz) to add effervescence. Gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine, taking care not to over-dilute or lose carbonation.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a grapefruit wedge or wheel and an optional lime wheel. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
