Salud Tequila Lounge
by Adam Geenen
Almost like a margarita with bubbles, this simple recipe recommended by the general manager of Chicago’s Salud Tequila Lounge lets the sweetness of the tequila take center stage.
What to buy: Any 100 percent agave reposado tequila will do the trick; try this drink with Partida.
A grapefruit soda like Squirt would work well in this cocktail.
INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS

This is my favorite simple summer cocktail. If you can't find Squirt, you can also use Fresca or grapefruit/toronja-flavored Jarritos. Sometimes I rub a little salt around the rim of the glass, too.
I thought Squirt was the color of Mountain Dew. What gives it that pink color??
The pink color comes from the grapefruit soda they were using. I think its Fizz brand, correct me if i am wrong.
I like adding the powder version of Tajin to this. Tajin is a mix of dry chile, lime, and salt-look it up.
