So I’ve already posted a couple of quick recipes using San Pellegrino Sparkling Fruit Beverages. My local grocery store had the grapefruit version on sale, so I picked some up thinking I’d try out a new cocktail on the Culinary Guinea Pig. He’s very fond of margaritas (on the rocks no salt or one of my frozen ones), and more generally fond of tequila, so I thought I’d try to create one more to his palate. It is definitely reminiscent of a margarita, but lighter, and the grapefruit adds a little something-something. Definitely one you should add to your repertoire!

Pompelmo Spritzer
Serves 1

3 tablespoons tequila
1 tablespoon orange liqueur
Splash of lime juice
1/2 can of San Pelligrino Pompelmo Sparkling Fruit Beverage (not quite 3/4 cup)

Fill a large glass to the brim with ice. Add liquors and lime juice, then top with the sparkling drink. Stir gently to combine. Consume.

If I were using vodka instead of tequila, I’d probably use 3 parts Pompelmo to 1 part vodka.

Afterthought: this soda it is DELISH all on its own. So don’t think you **have** to add alcohol!
