I love lime juice, but let’s face it, it gets kind of overused in warm weather cocktails. A simple solution which truly changes the flavor and vibe of a drink is to substitute grapefruit juice. Here’s a quick ‘n easy recipe for a bastardized margarita I love!
Here we go – (she’s a big one)
- 3 oz tequila
- 2 oz Grand Marnier
- 2 oz fresh lime juice
- 6 oz fresh grapefruit juice (pink is best)
- 1 oz+ simple syrup (to taste … I like ’em kinda sour)
Grapefruit wedges & coarse salt on the rim as garnish. Mix one up in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Pour into one of those giant margarita glasses that take up too much room in your kitchen cabinet.
