A refreshing pink grapefruit margarita recipe with fresh lime and grapefruit juice. A fun twist that's perfect for a crowd or taco night.
Prep: 10 minutes
Total: 10 minutes
Servings: 1 margarita
Ingredients
For each margarita:
- 3 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, about 1/2 large grapefruit
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice, about 1 large lime
- 1 ½ ounces silver tequila
- ½ ounce orange liqueur such as triple sec or Grand Marnier
- Splash club soda
For the rims and garnish:
- 1 part kosher salt
- 1 part granulated sugar
- Lime wedges for garnish
- Small grapefruit wedges for garnish
- Ice
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the glasses: Place the sugar and salt on a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the edge of the glasses to moisten them, then tap the edges of the glass in the sugar/salt mixture so that it sticks.
- Fill with the desired amount of ice and set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker or jar with a tightly fitting lid, add the lime juice, grapefruit juice, tequila, and triple sec. Top off the shaker with ice, then close the lid and shake vigorously.
- Strain margarita into the prepared glasses.
- Top with a splash of club soda. Garnish with lime and grapefruit wedges. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- PITCHER RECIPE: Stir all of the ingredients except for the club soda together in a pitcher and refrigerate. When ready to serve, fill individual glasses with ice, pour in the margarita mixture, then top each glass with a splash of club soda. Alternatively, you can add ice and the club soda to the whole pitcher just before serving.
- NOTE: The recipe as written will yield a more tart margarita. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a half teaspoon of light agave nectar, to taste.
