Spicy Grapefruit Margarita Recipe

Summer holiday weekends are upon us. So, what better way to celebrate any summer weekend than with cocktails? This time we’re using El Mayor Blanco Tequila to make a Spicy Grapefruit Margarita. The thing I love most about this recipe is that you can use any citrus and most fruits! If you don’t like grapefruit, switch it out for blood oranges, pineapple juice or even coconut! Whatever you do, remember the jalapeno simple syrup… it’s life changing.
