Fill the salted glass with ice cubes, leaving a little room for the liquid ingredients.
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila and 4 oz of fresh grapefruit juice. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to thoroughly mix and chill the drink.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over the fresh ice cubes.
Garnish the drink with a slice of grapefruit on the rim or gently place it inside the glass for visual appeal.
