INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the grapefruit juice, tequila and sugar syrup until well mixed.
Pour over a tall glass filled with ice and top up with soda water. You could add a squirt of lime juice which is nice and I did, and you could also rim the glass with salt.
NOTES
If you are wanting to reduce your sugar intake, simply leave the sugar out. Its less sweet but delicious.
