Equipment
- cocktail shaker
- jigger
- citrus reamer or juicer
Ingredients
- 2 oz silver tequila
- 2 oz grapefruit juice freshly squeezed
- 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
- 2 oz pineapple juice
- 1/2 tsp light agave nectar
- 3 oz sparkling water grapefruit-flavored
- 2 cups ice
Garnishes (optional)
- 1 pineapple wedge
- salt rim
Instructions
- Add tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, pineapple juice, and agave nectar to a cocktail shaker. Add about 1 cup of ice to the shaker, secure the lid, and shake, shake, shake!
- If you would like to add a salt rim, now is the time! Pour some salt onto a small plate, wet the rim of your cocktail glass with water or a lime wedge, then dip your glass to lightly coat with salt.
- Fill your glass with ice and pour in the mixture from the shaker. Top with sparkling water and gently stir. Add a pineapple wedge if desired and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe tastes best with fresh grapefruit juice and lime juice. You can also use the storebought kind, but the flavor will be noticeably less bright.
- To get 2 oz of grapefruit juice, you will need about 1 medium grapefruit.
- Any sparkling water will do, but grapefruit is lovely if you can find it!
- If you'd like to dilute your drink a bit more or serve it in a larger glass, add more sparkling water.
- To make this recipe for a crowd, see 'Recipe Modifications.'
- Nutrition facts are without garnishes. Garnishes will add some additional sodium, sugar, carbohydrates, and a bit of fiber (if you eat the pineapple wedge like I do!)
