Not only is this NATIONAL GRAPEFRUIT MONTH, but today is also NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY! These things are both very exciting, and coincidentally, work together in one of our favorite warm weather drink recipes: a Grapefruit Margarita. With the warm days we’ve had sprinkled in recently, it is hard not to get Spring Fever! This Grapefruit Margarita should help eliminate that fever for the time being, and will be perfect for back porch sipping when the weather decides to get right.
Grapefruit Margarita Recipe
Serves 6
The Ingredient List: Sparkling Grapefruit IZZE…YUM!
Ingredients:
The juice of 1 pink grapefruit (about ¾ cup)
The juice of 4 limes (about ½ cup)
1 12 oz. bottle of grapefruit soda (shown, Sparkling Grapefruit IZZE)
1 cup tequila
1 cup triple sec
Garnish:
Kosher salt
Lime wedges
Combine all ingredients into a pitcher. Salt the rim of each glass, then put a tiny pinch of salt in the bottom of each glass. Fill glasses half full with ice. (We prefer our ice crushed!) Pour and serve immediately, but first, garnish each glass with a lime wedge! Be sure to refrigerate the leftover Grapefruit Margarita (if there is any.) Enjoy!
The finished product. Ahhhh.....
