Equipment

Boston shaker or cocktail shaker
jigger
hand juicer or juicing machine

Ingredients

3 oz fresh grapefruit juice
2 oz tequila blanco or reposado
1/2 oz agave syrup
ice for shaking and serving
4-6 oz ginger beer
fresh rosemary, mint, or thyme optional

Instructions

Prepare the fresh grapefruit juice using a hand juicer or juicing machine. Measure 3 fl oz and add to a cocktail shaker. At this time, you can also cut a slice or wedge of grapefruit for garnish (optional).
Add the tequila and agave syrup to the shaker. Add a pinch of salt (optional) if not salting the rim of your serving glass.
Add ice to your serving glass before filling the cocktail shaker with ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until chilled and well-mixed. Pour through a strainer, over ice, in your serving glass.
Top with ginger beer and garnish with a slice or wedge of grapefruit and sprig of fresh herbs (if using). Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.

Notes

If using a juicing machine, add a knob of fresh ginger to intensify the ginger flavor. Alternatively, swap the ginger beer for ginger ale for a more subtle and sweet ginger flavor.

Store leftover grapefruit juice in the refrigerator, sealed tightly. Use within 3-4 days for best results.
