SPICY GRAPEFRUIT MARGARITAS

These sweet and spicy grapefruit margaritas are so refreshing! You can leave out the jalapeño if you want a basic, fresh grapefruit margarita, but I love the kick that the pepper provides. Recipe below yields one drink, so multiply as necessary.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ounce fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime, juiced)
1 teaspoon light agave nectar or 2 teaspoons simple syrup
1 thinly sliced jalapeño round (1/8th to 1/4th inch wide, a little goes a long way!)
2 ounces grapefruit juice (about 1/2 large grapefruit, juiced)
1 1/2 ounces 100% agave blanco/silver or reposado tequila
3 parts kosher salt
1 part ancho chili powder or regular chili powder
Lime wedges
Small grapefruit wedges for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • First, prepare your glasses. Mix together the salt and chili on a small, rimmed plate. Run a lime wedge around the outer top edge of your glasses, then roll the edges in the chili-salt so it sticks. Place one big ice cube or a few smaller ice cubes in each glass.
  • In a cocktail shaker or mason jar, add the lime juice, agave nectar and jalapeño slice. Use a muddler to crush the jalapeño. Pour in the grapefruit juice and tequila, then top off the shaker with ice. Fasten the lid on securely and shake well.
  • Strain the mixture into your prepared glasses. If you want to be cute about it, garnish the drinks with a small wedge of grapefruit, sliced halfway through the middle so it rests on your glass. Cheers!
