I love a margarita, and I truly believe that in certain circumstances a good margarita could be the answer to all lifes problems.
The only thing I love more than a margarita is a grapefruit margarita. They are a wonderful mix of sweet, tart, and if you rim the glass with a mixture of salt and chili lime seasoning from Trader Joes, spicy goodness!
In my opinion, the best margaritas are made at Mercado in Santa Monica, and once in a blue moon they will have a grapefruit margarita special and it is a thing of beauty. This is my attempt at it, and it is pretty darn good!
