"For those that like fresh tart and tangy and getting a buzz! ;) I had lots of big, fresh, juicy grapefruit and wanted a margarita so I came up with this. I used 4 grapefruits getting almost 4 cups of juice."

I didn't use a blender cause mine is broken. So I used a shaker. For the sweetness and color I added a dash of simple syrup and a drop of red food coloring. This is great :) We loved it. Thanks Rita :)

I really wanted to like this drink, as I love margaritas and I've been enjoying drinks with grapefruit juice lately, and it was very pretty. I cut the recipe down to make one and used pink grapefruit with just a little bit of grenadine. At first I thought it was pretty good, fairly mild as far as the juice flavor - not the usual complexity of a lime margarita, but the more I drank of it the less the citrus flavor was there and the alcohol flavors dominated, it actually started to bother my stomach and I couldn't finish it. I would like to try mixing grapefruit with lime and see what the result would be. Made for New Kids on the Block Tag.
