  • Lime wedge and chili salt for rimming

Instructions

  • Pour the chili salt rim mix onto a small plate.

  • Open the shaker and gently stir in the grapefruit soda.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For the spicy rim, a mix of Tajín and sea salt works well.
  • Make your own spicy simple syrup by simmering sugar, water, and fresh jalapeño slices.
  • Let the syrup sit longer for more heat, or remove seeds for something milder.
