GRAPEFRUIT MARGARITA

We have been having a heat wave here in Wisconsin. 

All I want is fall to come, and all the Midwest wants is more 90 degree days.

I'm not claiming this to be some ground-breaking, crazy new, insanely wild margarita recipe. It's just a basic, delicious, grapefruit margarita.So no sass about that, okay? Good.

What you'll need to make it happen:

3.5 ounces fresh ruby red grapefruit juice

1.5 ounces silver tequila

1 ounce triple sec

squeeze of fresh lime juice

splash of lemon-lime soda

lots o' ice

salt or sugar rim: optional

lime & grapefruit to garnish

How to make it happen:

Are you a margarita fan? Have a fancy recipe I should try?

Do share, friends!
