summer afternoon {recipe: grapefruit margarita}

Summer is coming quickly, and instead of dreading the heat, we’re celebrating with a grapefruit margarita.

I often think that I can pull off a mixed drink without a recipe, and am usually humbled by an overly sweet, or overly strong drink. I used a recipe for this one, and it tastes like I ordered it from the patio of an upscale restaurant.
