"I always make my cocktails with fresh pressed juice. I cannot afford any extra empty calories from store bought mixers, who can!! I have a commercial grade juicer so you may need to add extra juice if your hand squeezing since my juicer produces a lot of juice! I've had the grapefruit margarita at The Daily Grill on several occasions. Here is my martini version, enjoy!"

Tart yet sweet and oh so perfect after a day of yardwork.

This was a great cocktail, but just a little more on the bitter side than I usually like for my drinks. Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef.
