Notes
*To convert to tablespoons, 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons. To make a margarita pitcher that serves 8, mix together in a pitcher: 2 cups tequila, 1/2 cup Triple Sec, 1 1/2 cups grapefruit juice, and 1/2 cup lime juice. Add 3 handfuls of ice and stir until cold. Pour into glasses and serve!
**For a spicy grapefruit margarita, shake the drink with 3 to 4 jalapeño pepper slices.
