Cocktail by Bryan Muirhead, Owner of Holy Spirits & Bar Director of Quesadilla Gorilla.
This tart tequila cocktail is made for summer. Though it’s perfect in a glass, a pitcher that fits 10 or 12 works just as well. Combining a light cucumber syrup with orange and tequila creates a refreshing cocktail for a pool day. Rimming the glass, as well as topping the drink with a grapefruit agave salt adds that perfect look and taste to impress your friends. The final addition? Candied ginger paired with a fresh slice of grapefruit.
Rim your glass with the grapefruit worm salt and set aside.
Combine all ingredients and shake.
Pour the drink into your salted glass.
Cut both ends off your grapefruit and slice one ring off, cut that in half, and set aside.
Gently press the candied ginger against the grapefruit slice and add to the glass.
