- 50 ml tequila
- 5 ml fresh lime juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 100 ml pink grapefruit soda
- Lime slice, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add the tequila and lime juice to a highball glass.
- Fill the glass with ice and add the pinch of salt.
- Add the grapefruit soda and stir gently.
- Finish with the optional lime garnish.
Serve In
Highball glass
Preparation notes
- Plain club soda does not provide grapefruit flavor. Use grapefruit soda for this recipe.
- Keep the measured 100 ml soda pour as a starting point so it does not overwhelm the listed tequila and lime proportions.
