Refreshing and citrus-y, this drink is a perfect accompaniment to the hearty fare at any barbeque or picnic. Traditionally made with Mexican grapefruit soda, we like it with fresh grapefruit juice and sparkling water, with a bit of lime to give it a kick... and make it pretty :)
Ingredients
Coarse sea salt (or kosher salt) for the rim of the glass
2 ounces tequila (preferably blanco or silver, but any is fine)
2 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
2 ounces sparkling water
½ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ ounce agave nectar or simple syrup (1 part water to 1 part sugar)
Ice
Two wedges of lime and/or grapefruit
Instructions
Salt the rim of a highball glass: put some coarse salt on a plate, rub the rim of your glass with a wedge of lime or grapefruit, then dip your glass onto the plate.
Pour the tequila, grapefruit juice, sparkling water, lime juice, and agave nectar into the glass and stir.
Fill the remainder of the glass with ice.
Garnish with a twist of lime or grapefruit..
