Grapefruit Margarita Recipe

I must confess, the warm sunny spring weather we are having lately is making me a bit thirsty. As I sat outside on the porch a couple of days ago enjoying the sun on my pale winter face, the thought of a margarita crept into my head. Then yesterday at the store, I saw a mountain of beautiful Ruby Red grapefruits, and suddenly I had a plan, Grapefruit Margarita’s. Well the plan worked brilliantly. The tart yet sweet flavor of the grapefruit works perfectly with the lime to make an amazingly fresh, well-rounded drink. I can’t wait to stir up a pitcher of these for some friends, maybe it is time to plan a backyard barbecue. In the mean time, I probably better test a few more myself, just to make sure.
