You will love this variation of the classic margarita as much as its flavor, aromas, and beautiful color, always sworn that grapefruit is the magical fruit that works well in any cocktail.

Mezcal – Replace the tequila with this distillate if you are one of those who likes the smoky flavor!

Chilli powder – Rim it with tajin (chili powder) you will obtain a cocktail with an extra salty and tangy flavor
