  • “For me this was a great balance and quite refreshing.It’s not a strong drink in either flavor or kick, but that’s just right for me.I like the bit of sweetness from the grapefruit juice and I sugared my rim rather than salted which helped round out that sweet twist.I also used Lime Jose Cuervo in mine because I just don’t like regular tequila much.These go down very smooth indeed!”

  • “Quite tasty!Good combo of sweet/tartwith a kick.Thanks.”

  • “This was a nice change from the usual margaritas.I liked it a bit better than my dh (Between the 2 of us, it is about 4 1/4 stars).I get a box of grapefruits every year & its always such fun finding new things to do with them.I will keep this one handy.Thank you so much for sharing!”
