Add some ice to the glass.
In a cocktail shaker, add the mint, 30ml tequila, grapefruit, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and 30ml more tequila. Shake well and then filter through a sieve into the prepped glass.
Add 1 to 2 drops of terpenes, depending on the desired intensity.
Add more ice if needed and a mint leaf for plating.
Enjoy!
