Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
- 1 oz simple syrup/grapefruit syrup I make homemade equal parts grapefruit juice and sugar boiled
- grapefruit sparkling water or soda I like grapefruit topo chico
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 2 oz tequila I use silver patron
- ice
- Tajin chili lime spice for the rim, or you could use salt or sugar
Instructions
- You can make this drink as sweet as you prefer by adding more syrup or soda, I prefer using grapefruit topo chico which is not sweetened, and adding in fresh-made grapefruit syrup, I love the fresh flavor.
- Begin by rimming a 16 oz glass with lime juice and tajin (salt or sugar)
- Fill the glass halfway with ice, add in the tequila, grapefruit juice, grapefruit syrup, and lime juice, and stir to combine.
- Then pour in the sparkling water or soda.
- Add a fresh slice of grapefruit and serve.
- For a mocktail or homemade soda, omit the tequila. Add as much syrup as you prefer, you can juice grapefruit and make ice cubes with the juice to give the drink added flavor.
