Grapefruit Margarita

Grapefruit Margarita

A friend sent me a case of grapefruit, I thought I would try making a Grapefruit Margarita, which is not such a stretch when you consider that the Salty Dog cocktail, which is a Greyhound (vodka and grapefruit juice) in a salt-rimmed glass, marries the salt and grapefruit flavors and has been popular for years. For my margarita, I used freshly-squeezed ruby grapefruit juice, silver tequila, blue agave sweetener and I added a kick of chili into the mix.

Grapefruit Margarita

Ingredients

1½ ounces tequila

⅓ cup freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice

2 Tablespoons triple sec

2 Tablespoons agave sweetener

Directions

1Kosher salt mixed with cayenne pepper for glass. I used about a half a teaspoon of Cayenne for every three tablespoons of salt.

2Fill a cocktail shaker about half full with crushed ice. Add tequila, grapefruit juice, Triple Sec and agave. Shake well, then pour—with ice--into a margarita glass or other stemmed cocktail glass with a cayenne salted rim.
