  • 1 ½ ounces grapefruit juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ ounce lime juice freshly squeezed

  • Pinch of salt
  • Sparkling water or club soda

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, agave nectar, and a pinch of salt. Shake well for 10 to 15 seconds, then set aside.
