A delicious and refreshing twist on a traditional margarita. Especially perfect for a sophisticated Cinco de Mayo celebration.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 grapefruit whole
- 2 oz tequila
- 1 oz triple sec
- 2 tsp orange juice
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 2 dry measuring cups of ice
- margarita salt for rim of the glass
- colored sugar crystals I used orange and yellow
- a wedge of grapefruit for garnish
Instructions
- Mix margarita salt and colored sugar crystals on a small plate. Moisten margarita glass rim by taking a wedge of grapefruit and rimming the glass with the wedge. Dip moistened rim in margarita salt and colored sugar mix.
- Squeeze or juice the grapefruit to make freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice (my grapefruit yielded approximately 1 cup of fresh juice).
- Add juice to the blender and pour in tequila, triple sec, orange juice, honey, and ice. Blend until smooth and frothy. For a more frozen effect, add more ice.
- Pour mixture into a margarita glass and garnish with grapefruit wedge. Makes two large margaritas.
