summer cocktail {pink grapefruit margaritas}

Sweet, crisp, light and refreshing. This is an easy, crowd pleasing Summer drink.  The husband and I prefer the salt mixed into the drinks rather than around the rim... as noted below. Enjoy.

Pink Grapefruit Margaritas

adapted from Ina Garten

1 lime cut in wedges, optional
Kosher salt, optional
1 cup ruby red grapefruit juice
½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (4 limes)
1 cup orange liqueur, such a Triple Sec 
3 cups ice
1 cup white tequila

If you like a salt rim on the glasses, rub the lime around the edge of the glass and then dip the rim of each glass lightly in a plate of kosher salt. Set aside to dry.

Combine the grapefruit juice, white tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and ice in a blender and puree until smooth. If you’re not serving the margaritas in salted glasses, stir ¼ teaspoon of salt into the pitcher of margaritas. Believe me, it will make a difference. Serve ice cold.
