Grapefruit Margaritas

Quarantine day #458372910 and I have become a wanna be mixologist 🙂 

Listen we have to make the best of the times we are in and our side hobby has been drink tasting 🙂 

I have always enjoyed a good drink – my choice of drink is something STRONG [Vodka, Gin, Tequila or Mezcal] not too sweet and a good after taste – 

• Vodka Soda water with lime 
• Mezcal soda water 
• Tequila soda water and lime
• Dirty martini 
• A GOOD MARGARITA

**I told ya I like Strong drinks ** 

**SIDE NOTE – I unfortunately am not able to drink as much as I could when I was in my 20’s because well Mid 30’s jaja and well I have some health issues; I get very VERY Swollen and get red dots all over my face – currently working with professionals to find out what is going on – 

So during the stay-at -home situation I’ve been playing with different mixes for dinks – not only with flavors but also with glasses (because why not, make drinking at home more fun) 

My sister brought us some Grapefruit and I thought lets make some yummy margaritas –

**DISCLAMIER** 
I may have had a lot of these therefore I think they are delicious 🙂 so I’d be curious to see what you think 🙂 

This is what I used:

• 2 oz – Tequila (I used blanco; the Teremana Tequila)
• 1 oz – Fresh Grapefruit juice (I’m sure you can use store bought juice)
• 1 oz – Lemon Juice 
• 1 oz – Simple Syrup 
  • How to make Simple Syrup – I had NEVER Made it SUPER EASY
    • 1 cup of water to 1 cup of granulated sugar – boil until dissolved BOOM =Simple Syrup
• 1 oz Grand Mariner (if you don’t have Grand Mariner its totally okay I made a batch without it and it still tasted delicious)
• Ice to liking

*add to a shaker/or any cup; mix/or shake and salt rimmed glass*

On a serious note; these times are hard and we are all going through it together – some in different situations than others but nonetheless together – we all are doing our best (in my opinion) so lets do our best with what we have and try to enjoy each moment. 

I AM BEYOND GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS that are working their behinds off during this time – some of my closest friends are nurses and doctors and I know how hard they are working. 

CHEERS to them for all of their INCREDIBLE work and their BRAVERY – THANK YOU!!!
