Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was fantastic because it included a Grapefruit Margarita. Or two. 
Today I’m bringing you the recipe so you can put it on your weekend menu. Or weeknight menu. I won’t judge you. Some weeks call for cocktails.

Margaritas are my favorite drinks, but my favorite margarita recipe is something I crave in the warmer months. I wanted a winter spin so I put my resident bartender to work (AKA the husband, AKA Tim) and he came up with this fabulous recipe for a Grapefruit Margarita.

I used the same Texas Red Grapefruit from Sweet Scarletts that I use here and it lends a lot of sweetness to the drink. This is definitely a sweeter margarita than the classic recipe, but not too sweet.

ingredients for a grapefruit margarita

  • Blanco Tequila
  • Triple sec
  • Agave Nectar
  • Red Grapefruit
Notice that I don’t use lime here. We tested the recipe with lime and the lime took over and you couldn’t taste the grapefruit. I really wanted the grapefruit to shine here, so we left out lime juice.
We also tested this with Triple sec vs. Cointreau. Tim actually liked the Cointreau better, but I liked the Triple sec. The Cointreau makes a much stronger drink in my opinion, but if you want to make the Grapefruit Margarita without Triple sec, Cointreau is a good option.
I use salt on the rim and it balances the sweetness nicely. If you like really sweet drinks, a sugar rim would probably be really good, too.
Save this Grapefruit Margarita recipe for when you’re craving a margarita in the winter–you won’t be disappointed!
