1
Prepare glass
Run the lime wedge around the rim of a highball or Collins glass to moisten it. Spread the coarse salt on a small plate and dip the rim lightly into the salt to create an even, thin salted rim. Set glass aside.
2
Build the cocktail
Fill the prepared glass about three-quarters full with ice (use the 1 cup ice). Pour in 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (or agave syrup) directly over the ice.
3
Top with grapefruit soda
Gently pour 4 oz chilled grapefruit soda into the glass. Stir once or twice with a bar spoon to combine gently — you want to keep the soda bubbly, so avoid vigorous stirring.
4
Garnish and serve
Taste and adjust: if you prefer sweeter, add another 0.25 oz simple syrup; if brighter, add a 0.25 oz lime. Garnish with a lime wedge and a grapefruit slice or twist on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
