Ingredients for Your Perfect Pink Grapefruit Marg

Let’s start with the heart of our cocktail – the Pink Grapefruit Margarita Mixer from Stonewall Kitchen. Bursting with a vibrant blend of ripe grapefruits, lime and orange, this mix adds depth and complexity to our drink, elevating its flavor profile.

Next comes the heart and soul of the margarita – the tequila. Opt for a high-quality silver or blanco tequila, such as Casamigos or Patrón Silver. The smooth agave flavor will shine through and complement the tartness of the grapefruit.

For an extra punch of freshness, we’ll be incorporating some fresh grapefruit juice. There’s something magical about the zingy brightness of freshly squeezed citrus that takes any cocktail to the next level. To balance out the acidity, we also like to add a bit of Cointreau for a touch of sweetness. Cointreau is a premium orange liqueur known for its vibrant citrus flavor and versatility. These last two items are optional. If you don’t have them on hand, the Pink Grapefruit Margarita Mixer is good simply on its own!

Crafting the Perfect Pink Grapefruit Margarita

Begin by rimming the edge of your glass with salt or Tajín seasoning for a classic margarita touch. Run a slice of grapefruit along the rim, then dip it into a plate of salt or Tajin seasoning to coat evenly. Tajin is a popular Mexican spice blend of chili peppers, dehydrated lime and sea salt. It will add a slight spicy, tangy kick to your cocktail. It’s orange color complements your Pink Grapefruit Margarita perfectly!

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1/2 oz. of Cointreau, 2 oz. of fresh grapefruit juice, and 2 oz. of Stonewall Kitchen’s Pink Grapefruit Margarita Mix. Secure the lid on your cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the mixture and properly blend the flavors. Strain and serve your margarita by using your cocktail shaker’s built-in strainer. Carefully pour the contents into your rimmed margarita glass. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit or a twist of grapefruit peel for an extra visual flair.

Take a moment to admire your beautiful cocktail before taking that first blissful sip. Sip and savor the refreshing tang of grapefruit, mixed in with the subtle warmth of tequila and Cointreau. Delicious! With Stonewall Kitchen’s Grapefruit Margarita Mixer as your trusty companion, your cocktail is ready in a breeze! Cheers to the perfect blend of sunshine in a glass!
