Equipment

Ingredients

Single Serving:

  • 1/2 oz lime juice about half a lime
  • 2 oz tequila
  • grapefruit soda
  • ice

Pitcher (4 servings):

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 3/4 cups tequila
  • 3 cups sparkling grapefruit soda
  • ice

Instructions

Single Serving:

  • 1. Fill a glass with ice.
  • 2. Add a good squeeze of lime juice, about half an ounce, and 2 oz of tequila. 
  • 3. Top with chilled grapefruit soda. 

Pitcher (4 servings):

  • 1. Fill a pitcher with ice.
  • 2. Pour the lime juice and tequila into the pitcher. Gently stir.
  • 3. Top with grapefruit soda and sliced limes if desired.

Notes

  • Do NOT use a cocktail shaker. The carbonation in the soda will cause this to explode into a giant mess. 
  • Line the rim of your glass with salt for added flavor. 
  • One lime is usually enough for two drinks. 
  • We use short glasses for our cocktails. For a more sweet flavor use a tall glass and more soda. 
  • Can’t find grapefruit soda? You can add fresh grapefruit juice and club soda in its place.
