Directions

Step 1

Begin by lightly wetting the rim of a cocktail glass using a lime wedge.

Shake well until the ingredients are mixed and chilled, about 10-15 seconds.

Step 6

Strain the tequila-lime mixture into the prepared glass over the ice cubes.

Step 7

Top up the glass with 4 oz of grapefruit soda, pouring gently to maintain the fizz.

Step 8

Stir the drink lightly to combine the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
