Spicy Grapefruit Margaritas

Ingredients

  • ounce fresh lime juice (about1 large lime, juiced)
  • teaspoon light agave nectar or2 teaspoon ssimple syrup
  • thinly slice d jalapeño round (1/8 th to 1/4 th inch wide, a little goes a long way!)
  • ounce sgrapefruit juice (about 1/2 large grapefruit, juiced)
  • 1/2 ounce s 100% agave blanco/silver or reposado tequila
  • parts kosher salt
  • part ancho chili powder or regular chili powder
  • Lime wedges
  • Small grapefruit wedges for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. First, prepare your glasses. Mix together the salt and chili on a small, rimmed plate. Run a lime wedge around the outer top edge of your glasses, then roll the edges in the chili salt so it sticks. Place one big ice cube or a few smaller ice cubes in each glass.
  2. In a cocktail shaker or mason jar, add the lime juice, agave nectar and jalapeño slice. Use a muddler to crush the jalapeño. Pour in the grapefruit juice and tequila, then top off the shaker with ice. Fasten the lid on securely and shake well.
  3. Strain the mixture into your prepared glasses. If you want to be cute about it, garnish the drinks with a small wedge of grapefruit, sliced halfway through the middle so it rests on your glass. Cheers!
