Double the amount of lime and add a bar spoon of agave and this is quite a serviceable Paloma with minimal effort.

Has always been one of my favorite cocktails, if not drinks in general. If the grapefruit soda I'm using is too sweet I like adding a trivial amount of campari on the top to give it more personality.

Good as is but made into a 5/5 by substituting the traditional salt rim for tajín

A personal favorite - I like the addition of the bit of lime juice, and the salted rim. Refreshing and delicious!

It could be due to the type of grapefruit soda I use, but I would recommend using double the amount of lime juice.

Simple and great. Use reposado tequila, but still was wonderful A bit darker than the picture, but perfect with a hot and spicy dinner.

I agree, a reposado with Fever Tree sparkling grapefruit makes a perfect drink.

If made with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and ordinary club soda, it's one of the most delicious tequila cocktails that I know.
