Grapefruit Margarita

March 23, 2013

I have spent most of my life working in the food and beverage industry. 

Since food is my passion, I’ve been blessed to make a living from it and am grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had to learn and grow my knowledge about how food is grown, crafted and cooked. 

One thing that I enjoyed learning about, is that just like food, liquors and mixers all complement each other differently. There is a science behind crafting cocktails and being a true ‘mixologist’ takes skills!

While I wouldn’t call myself an official ‘mixologist’ (I prefer to stick with cooking up some soulful dinner), I do find it fun to learn and attempt to try a few new things and hone my cocktail making skills.

This grapefruit margarita was inspired by the beautiful, juicy grapefruits that were so plentiful the past few months; paired with a mild winter (sittin’ on the porch type weather) and visiting friends (who requested ritas); this refreshing Grapefruit Margarita was born!

Perfect for a Friday!
