Instructions

  1. If you’d like to rim your glass, do this first. Cut a wedge from a lime and rub the cut side of the lime along the rim of your favorite glass. Pour tajín (or sea salt) onto a plate and dip the wet glass rim into the tajín to coat it.
  2. Add tequila, simple syrup, Triple Sec, fresh lime juice, fresh grapefruit juice and ice to a cocktail shaker. Cover tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
  3. Pour the margarita into your rimmed glasses and garnish with fresh or dehydrated grapefruit slices. Cheers!

Notes

  • *A quick shortcut for simple syrup: shake equal parts granulated sugar + water (2 tbsp. each would be enough for 2 drinks) in a small jar for 1-2 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  • Learn how to make dried citrus here! It's great for garnishing cocktails, desserts, and more.
