Ingredients
- 1 tsp. grapefruit zest
- 4 tsp. kosher salt
- 4 oz. water
- 4 oz. light agave nectar
- Grapefruit Salt, to rim
- 1½ oz. tequila blanco
- 1 oz. fresh grapefruit juice
- ½ oz. Cynar
- ¼ oz. fresh lime juice
- ¼ oz. Agave Syrup
- 2 oz. club soda
Method
- Stir the grapefruit zest and the kosher salt together until the zest is evenly distributed through the salt, giving you the grapefruit salt for rimming.
- Heat the water until nearly boiling, add the agave nectar, and stir until it dissolves completely into a syrup, then let it cool to room temperature, which makes about 8 ounces.
- Rim a Collins glass with the grapefruit salt and fill the prepared glass with ice.
- Combine the tequila blanco, fresh grapefruit juice, Cynar, fresh lime juice and a quarter ounce of the cooled agave syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, seal it, and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
- Strain the shaken drink into the salted Collins glass, top it with the club soda, and stir gently and briefly so the bubbles survive.
