    Grapefruit Margarita | The Foodie Eats

    Now that the heat has returned, there's nothing like a refreshing cocktail. This grapefruit margarita recipe is perfectly sweet, sour, and salty!

    Who doesn't love a good Margarita? This past Cinco de Mayo, I wanted to be festive and enjoy a refreshing cocktail, but I wasn't in the mood for the regular sweet Margaritas. So, I decided to get creative. This grapefruit Margarita recipe was the result. It is perfectly sour, a little sweet, and as salty as you like.

    Traditional Margaritas vs. Our Grapefruit Margarita

    While nobody knows who originally invented the Margarita, we do know that a Margarita is traditionally a combination of tequila, orange liqueur (triple sec), and lime juice with equal parts orange liqueur and lime juice. We brightened things up by reducing the amount of lime juice, and adding additional grapefruit juice. The result is a refreshing, mildly sweet, and slightly sour cocktail, perfect for a summertime happy hour.

      Excellent. I was trying to make something similar from a local restaurant and found this one! Refreshing and not too sweet. You could add a little agave if you like them sweeter.
