Just in time for Cinco de Mayo we have a few recipes for you to enjoy! And this year it is all about the tart, refreshing taste of fresh-squeezed grapefruit!

Paloma

1 T. fresh lime juice
¼ c. fresh grapefruit juice
1 t. sugar
¼ c. light tequila
¼ c. club soda

Directions:

  1. Start with a glass with a salted rim.
  2. Add all ingredients.
  3. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add ice.

 

Grapefruit Sangria

4 c. grapefruit juice
3 c. Riesling wine
1 ½ c. ginger ale
Sliced fruit

Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher.
  2. Serve over ice.

 

Grapefruit Margarita

1 c. light tequila
1 c. fresh grapefruit juice
1/3 c. fresh lime juice
½ c. Cointreau
1-2 t. agave (optional)

Directions:

  1. Salt the rims of 4 margarita glasses and add ice.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a pitcher.
  3. Pour into ice-filled, salted glasses.

For a fun and fiery twist add a 1/2 ounce to 1 ounce portion (per serving) of Torani® Sweet Heat Syrup to any of the above cocktails.  The spice of the ghost pepper combined with the sweet/tart flavor of grapefruit is sure to delight your taste buds!
