Perro Salado (Tequila Salty Dog)

Submitted for Zaar World Tour 2005. This is a Tex-Mex version of the salty dog. If you have access to a sweet Texas red grapefruit, like Ruby-Sweets or Rio Stars, then it's recommended you use it in this recipe. From a special edition of Saveur, The Best of Tex-Mex Cooking. I ordered this at a restaurant once. If you're in the mood, you can double the tequila (hehe).

    What a nice refreshing cocktail! An interesting idea, using tequila. I used Cuervo gold, and since ruby reds are out of season, I used frozen concentrate ruby red grapefruit juice. Very nice! And a good time was had by all LOL! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
