This yum­my drink was made with an odd com­bi­na­tion of ingre­di­ents that I hap­pened to have in the kitchen. My friend Jill and I rat­ed these among the best mar­gar­i­tas ever.

3 ounces tequi­la 1/2 ounce Coin­treau (the com­pa­ny my grand­fa­ther worked at) 1/2 ounce Mor­ris Kitchen Gin­ger Syrup 2 or 3 Key limes, cut into quar­ters Sec­tions from half a pink grape­fruit Ice

Place the tequi­la, Coin­treau, syrup, limes, and grape­fruit sec­tions in shak­er. Mud­dle the limes and grape­fruit sec­tions to press out as much juice as pos­si­ble. Add ice, cov­er, and shake until well blend­ed. Pour into two mar­gari­ta glass­es (salt­ed rims option­al).
