I’m a fan of margaritas.

 

Jalapeno Grapefruit Margarita Recipe

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

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

 

I'm a fan of all margaritas, but I do have a few favorites. Beer margaritas, coconut margaritas, even to-go margaritas that are super fun to drink at the beach. But spicy Jalapeño Grapefruit Margaritas are quickly becoming a favorite. They're a little spicy, a little sweet, and truly delicious–especially with the sweet and salty chili powder rim.

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.
