So simple, yet so amazing! Tried it with Ocho Blanco and Chingon Mezcal… both completely different, both equally delicious.

Okay this is one of my new favorites! I did a basterdize version- only had bottle pink grapefruit juice, agave syrup instead of simple and was to lazy to make the saline since it was the end of a busy night so I salted the rim. oh and we don't do blended drinks so I shook the shit out of it! Wow cant wait to try the fresh squeezed version and I think this one is going on the menu!!

I've been pretty into grapefruit cocktails lately but grapefruits are hard to come by here, so all of mine have been bottled juice.

I've really been wanting to pick up some actual grapefruits to try some of my faves (namely this and a Cantaritos) lol

We went for Reposado, upping the volume to 60ml, and added 15ml triple sec...much better for us.
