Method

  1. (Optional) dip the rim of a highball glass into water and then shake off the excess. Sprinkle salt on a plate and dip the glass into it to get your salt rim.
  2. Add ice, tequila, and lime juice to your cocktail shaker and then shake well until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
  3. Use a Hawthorne strainer to strain the ingredients into a highball glass.
  4. Add the pink grapefruit soda and stir in with a bar spoon.
  5. Garnish with a slice of lime.
