It's Cinco de Mayo, and that means it's margarita time!! I'm a big fan. Especially of the variety my dad used to make. But his recipe is a closely-guarded family secret, so I can't divulge. However, I cam across this recipe and had to try it. It didn't disappoint, and that is coming from the gal who normally doesn't like a 'rita on the rocks! This drink is refreshing, pretty, and strong! It'll knock your socks off (literally!) and I just know you'll love it as much as I do. Mix up a pitcher for your next fiesta!
2 limes, cut into wedges
salt, in a shallow bowl or plate
1 cup ruby red grapefruit juice
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups triple sec
2 cups tequila
crushed ice
Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a margarita glass to moisten. Dip and roll the glass in the dish of salt so that the rim is completely covered.
Mix juice, sugar, triple sec, and tequila in a large pitcher. Stir to combine well and ensure the sugar is dissolved.
Place crushed ice in each glass. Pour margarita over ice and garnish with additional lime wedges.
These sound absolutely amazing and I want one right now and it's only 11:00 in the morning...WHAAT...WAIT...it's 5 0'clock somewhere....right..:)
