Jalapeño Grapefruit Margarita Recipe

I’m a fan of margaritas.

Beer margaritas. Coconut margaritas. Even to-go margaritas.

But spicy Jalapeño Grapefruit Margaritas are quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

Fresh grapefruit, 1800 Tequila, and a bit of Grapefruit Jalapeño Vodka make this margarita not too sweet. And the Sweet & Spicy Jalapeño Rim Salt adds the perfect kick. Whether it’s for National Margarita Day, Taco Tuesday, or Thirsty Thursday, it’s the margarita you’re going to impress your friends with.

Ingredients for Jalapeño Grapefruit Margarita

• 1 1/2 ounce 1800 Silver Tequila
• 1 ounce Svedka Grapefruit Jalapeño Vodka
• 3/4 ounce Grapefruit Juice, freshly squeezed
• Wedge of Grapefruit
• Jalapeño, sliced

Ingredients for Sweet & Spicy Jalapeño Rim Salt

• 1/4 teaspoon of coarse salt
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Mexican-Style Chili Powder

Directions for Jalapeño Grapefruit Margarita

1. Using a saucer, mix salt, sugar, & chili powder together. Smear top of the glass with a bit of honey or grapefruit juice. Twist the rim of the glass in Sweet & Spicy Jalapeño Rim Salt mixture. Set aside.
2. In a cocktail shaker, add tequila, Svedka Grapefruit Jalapeño Vodka, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, and two ice cubes.
3. Secure with a fitted cap and shake vigorously for 20 – 30 seconds.
4. Strain contents into a Mojito glass filled with crushed ice, because really… who can keep a top-heavy margarita glass from tipping over after they’ve had one?
5. Garnish with a wedge of grapefruit and jalapeño slices.
6. Serve.

Please remember to drink responsibly, and never drink and drive.
