We’re going on 6 weeks of social distancing slash shelter at home now. So if you are planning a party or maybe just relaxing a bit with your significant other put these lip smacking good margaritas on your to try list today.This Aperol Grapefruit Margarita combines tart grapefruit, bitter orange Aperol and tequila in a cocktail delicious for brunch or Mexican night. Grand Marnier, Triple Sec, and Cointreau all work well with Triple Sec being the most budget friendly. You can use any kind of orange liqueur for this recipe.

You can use gold tequila but the white tequila pairs better with the grapefruit. Banco Tequila, also called silver tequila and white tequila is the way to go with this cocktail.Simple syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.Microwave for 30 second increments until the sugar is completely dissolved. Simple syrup is made by combining equal amounts of water and sugar in a microwaveable measuring cup or bowl.Or choose a pink grapefruit juice which is a little sweeter. If it is too tart for you adjust the sweetness by adding a few tablespoons of simple syrup or agave nectar. I find this cocktail perfect without added sugar but everyone’s taste is different especially when it comes to grapefruit.Finally add a bottle of tequila to the bar for anyone who want to mix it just a little stronger. Perhaps your guests will want to blend a couple of the flavors together creating their own unique margaritas. Place some coarse ground cocktail salt in a shallow bowl with lime wedges close by for rimming glasses. Set out bamboo picks with small bowls of garnishments like fresh strawberries, pineapple, raspberries, lime slices, orange slices and grapefruit slices.

Have plenty of ice and a blender set out so that your guests can change it into a frozen margarita if desired. Mix pitchers of different flavored margaritas like strawberry, pineapple, raspberry and grapefruit. Finally pour in the prepared glasses and garnish with lime and grapefruit slices. If desired sweeten to taste with simple syrup. Next in a small pitcher mix together the grapefruit juice, lime juice, triple sec, tequila and ice. Then run that rim through some coarsely ground salt that has been placed on a small plate. To make the salt time rub the rim of your glasses with the wedge of a lime. I love to serve them at my summer shindigs along with Lemon Drop Martinis, Peach Daiquiris and Frozen Mudslides. I must admit these Easy Grapefruit Margaritas brings out the best that grapefruit has to offer. Do you like grapefruit? I am not a huge grapefruit nut but hubby is.
