Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Grapefruit juice
- 1.5 oz Tequila
- .5 oz Triple sec
- .25 oz Orange juice
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Dry measuring cup 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 one margarita.
