Early Sunset Grapefruit Margaritas

Life is too short to drink bad margaritas.

So with the seasonal temperature changes upon us and early sunsets back porch cocktail sipping is back… We begin with a favorite, Ina’s Grapefruit Margaritas or try Rick Bayless’ Paloma.

My new favorite brand of tequila, PANTALONES! Happy Fall Y’all, enjoy.

1 lime, cut in wedges, optional
Kosher salt, optional
1 cup ruby red grapefruit juice
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (4 limes)
1 cup orange liqueur, such a Triple Sec
2 cups ice
1 cup white tequila

If you like a salt rim of 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, lime juice, orange liqueur, and ice in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into a large pitcher and stir in the tequila. If youre not serving the margaritas in salted glasses, stir 1/4 teaspoon of salt into the pitcher of margaritas. Believe me, it will make a difference!
