Ingredients

Scale

To make a single serving of Peach Grapefruit Tequila Sour, you’ll need:

2 oz (60 ml) tequila – A high-quality blanco or reposado tequila works best.
1 oz (30 ml) fresh grapefruit juice – Preferably from pink or ruby grapefruit for a sweeter taste.
¾ oz (22 ml) fresh peach puree – Made from ripe peaches for natural sweetness.
¾ oz (22 ml) fresh lemon juice – Adds the classic sour balance.
½ oz (15 ml) simple syrup – Adjust based on your sweetness preference.
1 egg white – Optional, but adds a smooth, foamy texture.
Ice cubes – For shaking and chilling.
Garnishes: Grapefruit slice, peach slice, or a sprig of mint.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cocktail Shaker

Fill a cocktail shaker with tequila, grapefruit juice, peach puree, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using).

Step 2: Dry Shake for Frothiness

If using egg white, first shake without ice (dry shake) for 15 seconds to create a foamy texture. This helps aerate the egg white for a smoother, silkier mouthfeel.

Step 3: Add Ice and Shake Again

Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for another 15 seconds to chill the drink.

Step 4: Strain Into a Glass

Double strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or rocks glass to remove any pulp or ice shards.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with a grapefruit slice, peach slice, or mint sprig. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh peaches when in season for the best flavor. If peaches aren’t available, you can use frozen peaches (thawed) or a high-quality peach nectar.
Blanco tequila works best for a crisp, fresh taste, while reposado tequila adds deeper, aged notes.
Adjust the simple syrup based on how sweet your peaches and grapefruit are. If using very sweet fruit, you may need less syrup.
