Notes
- When making your cocktail, I recommend using freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. While you can definitely make it with a grapefruit flavored club soda, using real grapefruit juice will taste much better.
- If you have guests that prefer a nonalcoholic drink, you can make them this delicious summery drink without the tequila. It's refreshing and quite the party favorite.
- When ready to squeeze that grapefruit, roll de fruit on the counter before you cut it in order to break the membranes and have the juice ready for squeezing. Then cut in half and use one half to juice it and the other half to cut into slices for garnish.
