Ingredients

  • 2 ounces blanco tequila
  • 2 ounces grapefruit juice fresh
  • 1 ounce orange juice fresh
  • ½ ounce lime juice fresh
  • 4 ounces grapefruit soda or more to taste (see note below)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the tequila, grapefruit juice, orange juice, and lime juice, to a glass (see notes below) and stir to combine.
  2. Fill the glass with ice and top with grapefruit soda.
  3. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit, lime, and or orange, and enjoy.

Notes

  • Grapefruit soda: I like to use Fever-Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit for a more sophisticated flavor with smaller bubbles. For a more lighthearted flavor, Squirt, Fresca, or Jarritos are great options, with sweeter flavor and bigger bubbles.
  • If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a splash of simple syrup.
