TGIF, right readers? Or perhaps I should say TGISB--thank goodness it's spring break! Well, it is for me at least, and I want to celebrate with a drink (One? Who am I kidding here?). More specifically, this drink.
M and I have made them a couple of times and just fell in love with them. We both like grapefruit, so we figured we'd like them, but we completely underestimated how much we'd love them. Sweet-tart pink or red grapefruit, orange liqueur, a splash of fresh lime, and a generous dose of tequila--I mean what's NOT to love? Cheers, reader. Happy Friday. Or happy spring break. Or happy Tuesday...whichever you're celebrating.
Grapefruit Margaritas
Ingredients:
3 oz. tequila (We like Hornitos.)
2 oz. orange liqueur such as Triple Sec or Cointreau
2 oz. fresh-squeezed lime juice, from approx. 2 limes
6 oz. fresh-squeezed pink or red grapefruit juice, from 2 medium grapefruits
simple syrup, to taste (optional--We didn't use any)
salt, for rim (optional)
grapefruit wedges, for serving (optional)
Directions:
1. Mix tequila, orange liqueur, lime, and grapefruit juices well. If
you think you need a little more sweetness, add a splash of simple
syrup.
2. Rub one of the used lime or grapefruit rinds around the rim of two glasses and dip in cocktail salt, if desired.

Happy Spring Break to you!
Enjoy your SB! This looks like a great way to celebrate--I love margaritas and haven't ever tried grapefruit..passing this recipe on to my bartender (aka hubby ;))
We don't use simple syrup in our margaritas either! Tastes just as great! LOVE grapefruit, so I'll definitely have to try this!!
Happy Spring Break! I definitely miss Spring Break now that I'm not in school anymore, but we're taking a trip in April, so just a little over a month before my "Spring Break". Enjoy some margaritas!
