Ingredients
4 ozwhite tequila
2oz cointreau
2ozfresh squeezed lime juice
1oz fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
splash of club soda
lime wedges, ice, and salt for the rim if desired
Instructions
Prepare the glasses. If you want a salted rim, rub a cut lime on the edge of the glass, and dip into a small plate with kosher salt. For a spicy twist, add some chili powder to the salt on the plate. Pour ice into the glasses after salted.
Fill a lidded container (I use a large mason jar) with the tequila, cointreau, lime and grapefruit juices, and a handful of ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds, then pour into two prepared cocktail glasses.
Top with a splash of club soda. Garnish with lime wedges and a dusting of chili powder if desired.
