Cinco de Mayo is coming up soon and we wanted to share this super refreshing cocktail perfect for the sunny weather!  A distant cousin from the well-known margarita cocktail, this Highball style of beverage features tequila, lime, and grapefruit soda.  Years ago we created an unaged whiskey, better known as moonshine, and this sweet spirit has similar characteristics of a silver tequila; we only serve this in our Tasting Room in Haines, but substitute your favorite tequila, or mezcal for this tasty beverage.

1.5 oz 12 Volt Moonshine

.5 oz Lime Juice

3 oz Grapefruit Soda.  Squirt soda or San Pellegrino’s are the recommended sodas.

Salt Rim

Salt the rim of your glass and add ice.

Add remaining ingredients and stir.

Garnish with grapefruit or lime wedge
