Grapefruit Margaritas

GRAPEFRUIT MARGARITAS

Grapefruit is such a great mixer juice for cocktails. Blood oranges are also equally as great if you want more color to your drinks.

Dress up that rim with limes and a brown sugar Tajin seasoning!

Using a silver tequila among a few other choice ingredients is all you will need for a fresh, light and bright cocktail. Grapefruit along with most citrus can be too much, so using a few drops of almond extract is my secret ingredient. It cuts some of the acidity down a bit.
