Margaritas are my all time favorite drink and almost all tropical versions that I’ve tasted so far are amazing. It is also the most versatile drink as it can be blended with any fruit or flavor and results are almost always great!

I’ve so far tried classic margarita, raspberry margarita, strawberry margarita, mango chili margarita and passion fruit margarita and I can say with confidence all of them very delicious and very different from each other. Amongst other cocktails : rosemary infused Mai tai.

For Grapefruit margarita, you can use fresh grapefruit, you can also use strawberry flavoring or juice although I highly recommend using fresh ones instead of juice or artificial flavoring as it compromises the final taste. I’ve tried a spiked version of this recipe by adding a dash of jalapeno`. Results were simply out of the world!
