¼ cup grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
Directions:
Coat the rim of a cocktail glass with sugar. Add the grapefruit and lime juices with the sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the tequila and the club soda and stir. Fill the cup with ice and serve garnished with a wedge of grapefruit.
