Excellent! No too sweet and just right! I cut the alcohol by one-half and it still packed a pretty good wallop for this light-weight. Nice sipper for hot weather and spicy food. Thanks!

This was a very refreshing and easy margarita. I used grapefruit juice from a carton, and did not do the sugar rim.

So good! I scaled this down to two servings, and juiced two grapefruits. I used slightly less of both the tequila and triple sec (must've been a first for me - I usually use more alcohol!). Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic. I couldn't wait the three hours for it to chill, and it was fabulous. Used the sugar rim, and using fresh juice, I really thought it gave it a nice sweetness. Of course, perhaps the drinks weren't around long enough for the sugar to harden! =) Delicious.

Made these this weekend at the lake, yummie! Everyone asked for the recipe. Definatly a sipper, kind of strong but very good!
