  • “For me this was a great balance and quite refreshing.It’s not a strong drink in either flavor or kick, but that’s just right for me.I like the bit of sweetness from the grapefruit juice and I sugared my rim rather than salted which helped round out that sweet twist.I also used Lime Jose Cuervo in mine because I just don’t like regular tequila much.These go down very smooth indeed!”

  • “Quite tasty!Good combo of sweet/tartwith a kick.Thanks.”
