Pro Tips
- Use freshly squeezed grapefruit juice for the best balance of sweetness and tartness.
- For a drier version, reduce the grapefruit soda and add more sparkling water.
- Try blanco tequila for a crisp, clean base, or reposado tequila for a slightly richer depth.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to maintain the drink’s refreshing crispness.
