Grapefruit Margarita
Margaritas are my favorite. I'm a big fan of fruit and citrus-flavored margaritas. My Pineapple Mango Margarita is always a hit at family parties. It is time I share another family favorite, Grapefruit Margaritas. These tasty cocktails are super easy to prepare with some fresh or jarred grapefruit juice and a few other easy ingredients. Enjoy them at BBQs, cocktail parties, tailgates, and we love them with Brunch.
Ingredients
- Grapefruit juice: freshly squeezed or jarred.
- Tequilla
- Tripe Sec
- Grapefruit: for garnish
- Kosher Salt: garnish the glass
How to make a grapefruit margarita
- Use a lime wedge or a little water to wet the rim of your glasses. Place kosher salt in a shallow bowl.
- Rotate the rim of your glasses in the salt.
- Fill glasses with ice.
- Slice grapefruit for garnish.
- Pour tequila into your prepared salted glasses.
- Add in the triple sec and top with grapefruit juice. Serve with a grapefruit wedge.
Expert Tips
- Use either fresh or store purchased grapefruit juice.
- In season, we use fresh grapefruit. Off-season, we use a store-purchased refrigerated juice for tasty results.
- If you prefer a sweeter margarita, add simple syrup to the drink. I suggest a teaspoon or two into one serving.
Storage tips
Grapefruit margaritas can be made ahead of time. Make a batch and store in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Some of my other favorite cocktails include Pineapple Mango Margaritas, Strawberry Vodka Slush, Caramel Apple Cider Vodka Slush
