30ml Grapefruit Juice: Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice adds a zesty, tangy kick to the drink. 

15ml Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice is an ingredient that goes hand in hand with tequila and enhances the drink's tartness and balances out the sweetness from the lychee soda.

Grapefruit Wedge: For garnish, adding a fresh and colourful pop to your drink.
