Ummm these are ridiculous. Ridiculously DELICIOUS!

I love grapefruit. In fact, it’s probably my favourite fruit. I love grapefruit-flavoured everything, from cocktails to candy. I even cut up grapefruits like an orange.

I cringe when I see people who put extra sugar on them (i.e. my whole family) – they’re not THAT sour!

I also love margaritas. I definitely had my fair share when I worked at Feleena’s, and I learned how to make a wicked one using real lime juice (the only way to make them, in my opinion).

Anyway, a while ago a girlfriend and I decided to stay in on a Saturday night and watch girly movies and have cocktails. These are what I made. We also had Vietnamese food (recipe coming soon) and popcorn (a movie requirement). We watched Mean Girls (in celebration of its 10th anniversary) and Coyote Ugly (which was a first for me – I’d never seen it!).

The cocktails were a hit. I promptly slurped down two. That was enough to make Mean Girls even funnier than it already is.

But seriously, this is a wicked summer cocktail because the sweet and sour grapefruit is awesome with the spicy cayenne. Delicious and a bit mysterious, really.

I used freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice, but you could totally make these with no sugar added bottled grapefruit juice. The margaritas would probably end up more artificially pink (and therefore prettier), but I must say they tasted amazing with the fresh-squeezed stuff.
