Shake things up this Cinco de Mayo weekend with a tart and delicious Grapefruit Margarita! This version is perfect for spring – easy, delicious and refreshing!
I made these using the fabulous Mason Shaker, and I think its Southern charm added just the perfect, festive flair! The recipe for this batch yielded enough for two glasses (plus a little top off for each). If you want to double the recipe, I think it would definitely fit inside the Mason Shaker (it’s a great size)!

Grapefruit Margaritas
Serves 2
1 c. Simply Grapefruit juice (If you want a sweeter taste, go with fresh-squeezed juice from two Texas grapefruits)
1/4 c. fresh-squeezed lime juice (3-4 small limes)
3 T. Grand Marnier
1/4 c. silver Tequila
1 t. light agave nectar
ice
Margarita salt (or Kosher salt) to rim the glass
1 lime, sliced into wedges for serving
Use a lime wedge to moisten the rim of the glass. Roll the rim in margarita salt (or kosher salt). Trust me, you’ll want the salt – it goes very nicely with the tartness of the grapefruit! Add a little ice to each glass.
In the Mason Shaker, combine the grapefruit juice, lime juice, Grand Marnier, Tequila and agave. Give it a good shake and divide the delicious liquid between the glasses. Enjoy, and happy happy Cinco de Mayo!
