GRAPEFRUIT MARGARITA MARTINI
I always make my cocktails with fresh pressed juice. I cannot afford any extra empty calories from store bought mixers, who can!! I have a commercial grade juicer so you may need to add extra juice if your hand squeezing since my juicer produces a lot of juice! I've had the grapefruit margarita at The Daily Grill on several occasions. Here is my martini version, enjoy!

GRAPEFRUIT AND HONEY MARGARITA
To create a lower-alcohol version of a grapefruit margarita, we replaced the usual orange liqueur with honey. The result is a light and refreshing cocktail just right for alfresco summer drinking.

Steps:
- In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, stir honey with 1 tablespoon very hot water (from the tap) until dissolved. Fill shaker halfway with ice and top with tequila, grapefruit juice, and lime juice. Shake vigorously until outside of shaker is cold and frosty, about 10 seconds.
- Strain into a tall, narrow glass, such as a Collins, filled with crushed ice. Stir with a swizzle stick or straw until glass turns frosty, about 10 seconds. Garnish with grapefruit rind; serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right grapefruit: Use fresh, ripe grapefruit with a deep pink or red color. Avoid grapefruit that is green or has blemishes.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the margarita. Avoid using bottled or concentrated lime juice.
- Use good quality tequila: A good quality tequila will make a big difference in the flavor of the margarita. Look for a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth, clean flavor.
- Don't over-shake the margarita: Over-shaking the margarita will make it cloudy and dilute the flavor. Shake the margarita just until the ingredients are combined.
- Serve the margarita immediately: Margaritas are best enjoyed fresh. Serve them immediately after making them.

The Grapefruit Margarita is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its tart and tangy flavor, this margarita is sure to please everyone. Whether you are enjoying a night out with friends or just relaxing at home, the Grapefruit Margarita is the perfect drink to sip on.
