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.
