Can I make this cocktail ahead of time?

Yes. You can mix the grapefruit juice, lime juice, sweetener, and tequila ahead of time and chill it. Add the ice and soda water just before serving so the drink stays cold and fizzy.

What can I use instead of simple syrup?

The recipe already suggests honey, maple syrup, or agave as alternatives. Start with a small amount, taste, and adjust until the sweetness balances the citrus.

How do I make the salted rim stick better?

Run the grapefruit slice around the rim first so the glass is lightly moistened, then dip and rotate the glass in the Yuzu Citrus Salt for an even coating.

Can I make it nonalcoholic?

Yes. Skip the tequila and add a little extra soda water or more grapefruit juice to keep the drink balanced and refreshing.

What’s the best way to serve this drink?

Serve it very cold in salt-rimmed glasses right after mixing. The grapefruit garnish and citrus salt add the most flavor when the drink is freshly poured.

Can I scale the recipe for a crowd?

Absolutely. Multiply the ingredients evenly and mix the base in a pitcher or punch bowl. Hold back the soda water until serving so the drink stays bubbly.
