I simply adore grapefruit juice.  It is so refreshing.  This Margarita is the same. Just a sip of this Grapefruit Margarita evokes memories of warm summer days in Mexico.  I first had this Margarita at The Resort at Pedregal while seated in the chairs below facing the turquoise blue ocean.  The resort has been renamed recently but has same owner, same GREAT resort, FABULOUS staff and AMAZING views!

If you like a spicy Margarita, you can add a few slices of serrano or jalapeño pepper to the cocktail shaker.  It adds a great zip!
