Fresh grapefruit, sweet orange, sharp lime, cold tequila, sparkling soda, and a chili-lime rim create a vivid Mexican cocktail that is citrusy, fizzy, and dangerously easy to drink. 🍊

Ingredients

• Fresh citrus base 🍊
• 🍊 180 ml fresh grapefruit juice (¾ cup / 6 fl oz)
• 🍊 120 ml fresh orange juice (½ cup / 4 fl oz)
• 🍋 60 ml fresh lime juice (¼ cup / 2 fl oz)
• 🍯 30 ml agave syrup (2 tbsp / 1 fl oz)
• 🧂 1 small pinch fine sea salt
• Cocktail 🍹
• 🥃 240 ml blanco tequila (1 cup / 8 fl oz)
• 🍊 300 ml chilled grapefruit soda (1¼ cups / 10 fl oz)
• 💧 120 ml chilled sparkling mineral water (½ cup / 4 fl oz)
• 🧊 600 g ice cubes, approximately (5 cups / 21 oz)
• Tajín rim 🌶️
• 🍋 1 lime wedge
• 🌶️ 2 tbsp Tajín seasoning
• 🧂 1 tsp fine sea salt
• To finish 🍽️
• 🍊 Grapefruit wedges
• 🍊 Orange slices
• 🍋 Lime wheels
• 🌿 Fresh mint, optional
• 🌶️ Extra Tajín, optional

Preparation

• 1 Chill the glasses ❄️ Place the serving glasses or traditional clay cantaritos in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes so the finished cocktail stays cold and refreshing.
• 2 Prepare the Tajín rim 🌶️ Mix the Tajín and fine sea salt on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rims, then dip them into the seasoning until evenly coated.
• 3 Mix the fresh citrus base 🍊 Pour the grapefruit juice, orange juice, lime juice, agave syrup, and salt into a large jug. Stir until the agave dissolves completely.
• 4 Add the tequila 🥃 Pour the blanco tequila into the citrus mixture and stir briefly so the alcohol and juices are evenly combined.
• 5 Fill the glasses with ice 🧊 Pack the prepared glasses generously with fresh ice cubes. Plenty of ice keeps the drink cold without immediately becoming watery.
• 6 Pour the cocktail base 🍹 Divide the tequila and citrus mixture evenly between the ice-filled glasses, leaving enough room at the top for the sparkling ingredients.
• 7 Add the grapefruit soda ✨ Slowly pour the chilled grapefruit soda into each glass. Pour down the side to preserve as much carbonation as possible.
• 8 Add the sparkling water 💧 Top with sparkling mineral water and stir only once or twice with a long spoon so the cocktail remains lively and fizzy.
• 9 Finish and serve 🌿 Garnish with grapefruit wedges, orange slices, lime wheels, fresh mint, and a light pinch of Tajín. Serve immediately while icy cold and sparkling.
