Grapefruit Tequila Fizz

A refreshing grapefruit-based tequila cocktail with a sweet and tangy twist, perfect for summer sipping.

This cocktail is a fruity, bubbly alternative to the classic margarita, with grapefruit juice and tequila taking center stage. The salted rim adds a savory contrast to the sweet and sour flavors.

Simple syrup balances the tartness of the grapefruit and lime, while club soda gives it a light, effervescent finish. It's quick to make and perfect for a party or a relaxing evening.

Method

  1. Pour a pinch of kosher salt onto a small plate. Rub the rim of a Collins glass with the lime wedge, then dip the rim into the salt, turning to coat evenly.
  2. Fill the prepared glass with ice cubes. Add the grapefruit juice, tequila, simple syrup, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Top off with club soda and gently stir with a bar spoon. Garnish with the grapefruit wedge and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

  • For a more intense grapefruit flavor, use freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to taste.
