Ingredients

• 2 ounces lime juice
• 1/2 ounce grapefruit juice
• 1 1/2 ounces Ritual tequila alternative
• pinch of salt
• 4 shakes of orange bitters (optional)
• orange zest (optional)

Method

Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Pour into a double old-fashioned glass over ice.

Notes

I wanted to add the orange flavor you would get with Cointreau in a traditional recipe. The combo of a little grapefruit juice plus orange bitters or orange zest seems to do the trick. You can buy alcohol-free bitters from Dram Apothecary.

Ritual Zero-Proof tequila alternative makes this taste just like the real thing. This tequila has a pleasing bite. I’m curious about what makes it burn.
