Notes
- Always choose tequila that is 100% agave.
- Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and lime juice will give you the best tasting cocktail. The bottled stuff contains preservatives that impact flavor.
- You can use agave or simple syrup in this recipe. I prefer agave because tequila is made from the agave plant but use whatever you have on hand.
- The sweetness of your grapefruit juice can make a difference in the flavor of your drink. In season fruit will be naturally sweeter. If you have really sour juice, you may need to add more agave syrup to balance the flavors. Taste the recipe as written first and then adjust if needed.
