Notes
Substitutes:
- Tequila: If you don't have Tequila, you can use vodka for a different but still enjoyable flavor. I've also tried using mezcal for a smokier twist.
- Grapefruit Soda: Mix fresh grapefruit juice with club soda if you can't find grapefruit soda. It's a bit more tart but works well. You can also use lemon-lime soda for a sweeter alternative.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Tequila Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic tequila substitute; these are available and reasonably mimic Tequila's flavor profile.
- Proceed As Usual: Use this non-alcoholic substitute instead of regular Tequila, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
