Ingredients

For the Cocktail

  • 1 cup reposado tequila
  • 1¼ cups fresh grapefruit juice (about 2 large grapefruits)
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 3 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 3 cups ice

For Serving

  • Tajín, for rimming the glasses
  • Grapefruit wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the glasses: Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it, then dip the rims into Tajín to coat evenly. Set the glasses aside for serving.
  2. Blend the cocktail: In a high-speed blender, combine the reposado tequila, fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and ice. Blend the mixture until smooth and slushy to achieve a refreshing frozen texture.
  3. Serve: Pour the blended slushy cocktail into the prepared Tajín-rimmed glasses. Garnish each glass with a fresh grapefruit wedge and serve immediately for maximum freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of simple syrup to control the sweetness according to your preference.
  • Use freshly squeezed citrus juices for the best flavor.
  • The Tajín rim adds a spicy and salty contrast that complements the citrus and tequila.
  • For a less alcoholic version, reduce the tequila or add more ice.
  • Ensure to use a high-speed blender for a perfectly smooth frozen texture.
