Equipment

  • Drink Shaker
  • Shot Glass

Ingredients
  

  • ½ Grapefruit
  • 1 large lime
  • Your Favorite Tequila (I like Casamigos or Patron)
  • Patron Citronge Orange Liqueur
  • Agave Nectar (Optional)
  • Tajin

Instructions
 

  • Juice the half a grapefruit and set aside
  • Juice the lime and set aside. (Save one lime half to rub the rim of your glass.)
  • Pour Tajin spice onto small plate and turn lime rimmed glass into a layer of Tajin. If you prefer you can use kosher salt instead of Tajin.
  • Grab a bar shaker and a shot glass.
  • Add one shot of grapefruit juice to the shaker.
  • Add a shot of lime juice to the shaker.
  • Add two shots of tequila
  • Add half a shot of Patron Citronge
  • If you prefer a sweeter margarita add a few drops of agave nectar. I like mine very sour so I do without it.
  • Add ice and shake
  • Pour over ice into the glass with the Tajin rim. Or serve without ice in glass – your preference!
  • Get your ‘party’ on!
