Directions
Step 1
Prepare the glass: Take a short glass (like an Old Fashioned or rocks glass) and run a slice of grapefruit or a damp paper towel around the rim to lightly moisten it.

Fill the salted glass with ice cubes, leaving a little room for the liquid ingredients.

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila and 4 oz of fresh grapefruit juice. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
Step 5
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to thoroughly mix and chill the drink.

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over the fresh ice cubes.
Step 7
Garnish the drink with a slice of grapefruit on the rim or gently place it inside the glass for visual appeal.
