So that means, it’s time to shake things up and create this amazing clean margarita recipe to celebrate!

The “Clean” Grapefruit Margarita Recipe

2 Sweet & Very Ripe Ruby Red or Pink Grapefruits

1 or 1 1/2 shots of your favorite Silver Tequila

1-2 Tablespoons Cointreau or Orange Liqueur

Slice of Lime for Garnish

Using a citrus squeezer, squeeze 2 grapefruits into a cup. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the Grapefruit Juice, Tequila and Cointreau. Shake for several minutes. Rim the margarita glass with the slice of lime and dip in a mixture of sugar. Pour contents of shaker over ice or serve “up” as well!

The key to this recipe is the sweet ripe grapefruit! If the grapefruits are not sweet, then you may need to add some sweetener such as Splenda or simple syrup. If you like spicy, then spice it up with some muddled jalapenos!
