Spicy Grapefruit Margarita

If you know me, you know I am a sucker for a good margarita. This one also just happens to be pink (which is my favorite color) so basically it is perfect. It is fresh, has a little kick and it makes you feel like you’re a fancy bartender. I hope you love it!

Since most bars are closed, creating your own fancy cocktail is a fun way to bring the bar to your home! Grab these few ingredients from the store, and whip up this delicious drink. Don’t forget to rim your glass with the chili salt!

so. delicious.
