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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Fill with the desired amount of ice and set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. Strain margarita into the prepared glasses.
  5. 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.
