Lovely way to end a long hot day…
Ingredient List:
sweet cocktail glass that your grandchildren gave you
Kosher Salt
1/4 cup grapefruit juice
2 T fresh lime juice
1 t sugar
1/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup club soda
slice of lime for garnish
Pour some Kosher salt on a clean surface
rub the rim of an impossibly cute cocktail glass that your grandchildren gave you (is it wrong that your grandchildren give you cocktail glasses?) with a slice of lime and rub the rim in the salt – I don’t like too much salt, I try and save the calories for the alcohol…
add grapefruit juice, pink if you are inclined (I was inclined)
lime juice, sugar and mix, then add tequila (I added a little extra to use up the calories I saved on the salt) and top it off with club soda
take it out on the deck and sip, sip sip….

So…that really is a cute glass from your grands! (If you were to ask my honey of what is one of my quirks…it would be my inclination or love of drinking glassware! ANY unique or unusual ones…they don’t have to be pricey, but yes, I do like those too…since the price is not what attracts me to them. And some of my favorites are the ones that we got from the POM juices…such a bummer that POM doesn’t bottle their juices in them anymore.
I don’t drink…even the carbonation from sodas are “too much”! lol I do love rootbeer with lots of icecream…
Blessings & Aloha!
(I have been working on signs for our son’s wedding, but was happy to get my post up and visit you, before all the celebrating begins :o)
Looks refreshing. May I ask what plugin you use to print your recipe? I’ve been trying Recipe Card but want something that might be used with craft patterns too. Thanks.
Cheers – what a cute glass.
Love those measuring cups! Too cute!
I’m with Marie– I can’t drink carbonated drinks, but it’s super pretty!
What a pretty drink! I love the glass.
Has anyone mentionned that the glass is very, very cute? Your grandchildren have lovely, sophisticated taste!
Now that drink – it it weren’t past 11 pm I’d be making one and taking it out onto the veranda.
love the glass bet the drink tasted yummy
Now this is a delicious sounding recipe and an adorable glass!
I have enjoyed a few of your posts – cocktails and lawyers probably a good mix! (although sorry to hear you are needing the later)You ‘G is for grieving’ was particularly poignant for me after my Tuesday post.

Yes, it looks very refreshing, nice photos!
What a delightful measuring cup.
Wonder what it would taste like virgin?
I do not like tequila but my son does..wonder if he’d like this / I’ll show it to him 🙂
Drinking from that glass would definitely raise a smile let alone with this lovely sounding cocktail! 😀
A great post…envious of your skills.
MMM I gotta try that! I love anything tequila!
A refreshing beverage treat in this awful hot weather we have been having! Yum!
If there was even the inkling of a possibility that I could handle my liquor, this would be the perfect way to wind down…
Perhaps I will try this recipe with out the alcohol but that might be pointless because it would take all the fun out of it…
Priceless post for the letter “P”!
Thanks for linking.
A+
Your letter P posts are yummy!
Sounds good to me! Love that first photo of the lime.
