🔥How To Make The Magic
1️⃣ GRAB one orange + one lime + one lemon + one grapefruit and slice ‘em up—this is your bright, juicy base. 🍊🍋
2️⃣ RIM your glass with chili + salt (optional but highly encouraged… we like a little edge). 🌶️
3️⃣ SQUEEZE fresh citrus into the glass—don’t be shy, this drink lives on that zing.
4️⃣ ADD tequila (a generous pour… measure with your heart, responsibly 😉). 🥃
5️⃣ DROP IN ice and give it a quick stir to wake everything up. ❄️
6️⃣ TOP OFF with soda (grapefruit or sparkling water works best for that crisp finish).
7️⃣ FINISH with extra citrus slices + a pinch of tajin + drizzle of chammy for that spicy-citrus glow-up.
8️⃣ SIP immediately—preferably with tacos in hand and zero emails in sight. 🌮🔥
🌮 Taco Tuesday Translation:
This is basically a Paloma’s cooler, slightly spicier cousin—bright, refreshing, and built for second rounds.
