Grapefruit-Chilli Margarita
Margaritas are my favourite summer cocktail. I love that they are refreshingly citrusy. This summer in Ibiza I came up with a nice twist: A Grapefruit-Chilli Margarita and it is absolutely delicious. The grapefruit adds subtle bitterness and the chilli adds the extra oomph!
Ingredients
Serves 2
6 cl white tequila
Juice of 1 lime (about 5cl)
4 cl Cointreau (or Triple Sec)
2 cl grapefruit juice
2 slices of grapefruit
chilli flakes
salt
ice
Method
Sprinkle some salt and chilli flakes on a small plate.
Run a slice of lime around the rim of 2 glasses, then dip them into the salt and chilli flakes until the rim is covered.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
Add 6 cl white tequila, the juice of 1 lime, 4 cl Cointreau and 2 cl grapefruit juice. Shake well for 30 seconds.
Divide the margarita between the two glasses and garnish each with one grapefruit slice.
Cheers!
