The REAL Mexican tequila cocktail - simple and tasty.

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt (optional and approx- for salt rim)
- 2 fl oz tequila (blanco or reposado, or can use mezcal)
- 2 fl oz grapefruit juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup (made with equal parts sugar and water, warmed to dissolve) approx - or a little more or less to taste
- 2 fl oz sparkling water/club soda (or a little more)

Instructions
- If you want to have a salt rim on your glass, pour some salt on a small plate then rub the edge of the glass with either a slice of grapefruit or lime. Dip the top of the glass in salt and carefully turn over so you don't knock the salt off.
- Add the tequila, grapefruit juice and lime juice to the glass (traditionally hi-ball but I have used a shorter rocks-style glass here). Add some simple syrup (a little more/less to taste), stir to mix then add a few cubes of ice. Top up the glass with sparkling water/club soda and serve.
Notes
- As mentioned above, this is often made with grapefruit soda rather than grapefruit juice + soda water. I like the fresh grapefruit version that is slightly less sweet, but why not try both and see which you prefer (or make based on what you have).
