There is something about the flavour and cleansing mild tartness of pink grapefruit that screams breakfast and indeed this Pink Grapefruit Margarita would be delicious with breakfast.

A lovely delicate Margarita. Bravo. Coming at it a second time, we couldn't resist adding just 2.5ml Cointreau, just to add a little depth. Which sort of works against the 'idea' of the cocktail but, to our taste, is complementary and not too intrusive.

Made on a hot New Years Eve afternoon in Western Australia- used Pampelle Ruby L'Apéro, but swapped out reposado for blanco. Fresh and tart and perfect in the heat. The right tart balance for sipping not quaffing. 5 Star.

Still one of my favorite margaritas. Living in San Diego, we have way too many margarita options, but I still think this one is the best.

I’m a sucker for anything grapefruit - so delicious! I may have to rotate with Malfy gin Paloma.

I had to add a comment. What a wonderful birthday gift for my husband, Rob Cox, when we got the notice that this cocktail had been developed off our comment. It is nice to see what a true mixologist can do with a suggestion. Thank you Simon for the wonderful cocktail. We had it with lunch today.
Love the tartness of the margarita but it still has the hint of sweetness. Cheers.

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
