Grapefruit Margarita

Fresh grapefruit, lemon, and lime juice take this bright and flavorful margarita to the next level of delicious

Happy Margarita Day!!

What a great holiday!

Fun fact about me… tequila is my favorite. I know I know. It’s strong and most people associate it with shots, monstrous-sized margaritas, and disastrous nights. But let me try and change that image in your mind.

Tequila can be really delicious and you don’t have to drink so much that you wake up feeling like tiny people are hammering inside your brain.

You obviously know that I am going to give you a recipe for margaritas that celebrates this magical holiday of Margarita Day.

I started to make this a cucumber margarita and then I changed that to a mango margarita but I {luckily!!} ended on grapefruit in the end.

Since most of the country is covered in snow and freezing, I thought it would be rude to make a margarita that was summery. That and they’re basically giving away grapefruits at the grocery store.

Can we take a quick moment and feel happy that seasonal produce is less expensive and tastes better… #thelittlethingsinlife

K, so I made a Grapefruit Margarita but not just one. I made a big giant pitcher of margs {8-9 servings}. Who wants to spend 10 minutes juicing citrus fruits to only get one or two drinks? No thanks.

Yes, it takes a little time to juice 4 grapefruits, 4 lemons, and 4 limes. But it couldn’t be more worth it. I can promise you that.

Once you’ve juice all your bright citrus fruits, you add tequila and orange liqueur and a little tiny bit of salt. Now don’t you dare go ruining your hard juicing work by using bottom shelf tequila. Life’s too short for bad tequila and miserable hangovers.

You want good tequila in a margarita. The is incredibly important. Don’t skimp on cheap tequila. You’ll regret it.

Bottom line: use good tequila.

Now go celebrate this amazing holiday with some delicious Grapefruit Margaritas!
