Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila (silver or reposado)
- 4 oz Fresh grapefruit juice
- 2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 Grapefruit slice (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the glass: Take a short glass (like an Old Fashioned or rocks glass) and run a slice of grapefruit or a damp paper towel around the rim to lightly moisten it.
Spread the kosher salt on a small plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the salt, ensuring it is evenly and lightly coated. Set the glass aside.
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.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Perro Salado Tequila Salty Dog!
