Ingredients

  • 2 oz blanco tequila

  • 2 oz grapefruit juice
  • 1 oz coconut water
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 2 oz grapefruit soda

Use fresh juices for best flavor. Skip the simple syrup for a drier drink or add a pinch of salt to make the citrus pop. Rim the glass with salt or sugar if you like, and keep ingredients cold for maximum fizz and minimal dilution.
