Happy (almost) new year and also – happy citrus season! If you were thinking “hmm… maybe margaritas for new years eve this year?” then you’ve come to the right place. Well almost.
I originally planned to make a version of my go-to pomegranate cocktail when these sweet ruby red grapefruits showed up in my Farmhouse box last week. It was a lovely surprise because, well, I’ve been over-doing it on the pomegranates lately and I love the idea of a pink drink instead. While Jack is not a fan of grapefruit in general, he loves palomas which are essentially grapefruit margaritas.
This is a slightly lighter take on the traditional recipe – I use agave nectar instead of simple syrup, and add a few splashes of sparkling water to make these bright and bubbly.
We usually drink these in the summertime, but citrus is at its best right now around here so we broke out the tequila and the tortilla chips anyway!
- ¾ cup fresh grapefruit juice, plus extra wedges for garnish
- 3 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- ¾ cup tequila
- ¾ cup sparkling water, (I like Topo Chico)
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- ice
- Stir together the grapefruit juice, lime juice, agave nectar, tequila, and sparkling water. Adjust sweetness and tartness to your liking.
- Pour into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with grapefruit wedges and thyme sprigs.
