What you’ll need: • 1 ruby red grapefruit • 1/4 cup of sweetened lime juice. (pssst…if you like your drinks super sweet, bump it up to half a cup) • 3 oz tequila • club soda • handful of key limes (but limes will do, if you can’t find these little cuties) • margarita salt – moving forward it will be known as marguerite salt What to do: • juice the grapefruit into a cocktail shaker (you should end up with about half a cup) • add the sweetened lime juice, tequila and a handful of ice and shake it! • in the meantime, cut the limes into wedges and run one of the wedges over the rim of two glasses • coat the glasses in marguerite salt then… • fill each glass with ice and divide the liquid between the two glasses • top off both glasses with club soda. stir, then a squeeze and plunk of a lime in each. *that’s it! you’re done. so easy, so delicious. would love to sit and chat, but i’m off to make one for myself. how early is too early to drink this?
