Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a chilled margarita glass. Dip the rim into salt to coat it evenly. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Mint

    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently bruise the mint leaves to release their oils.

Mixing the Drink

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, agave syrup, and grapefruit juice to the shaker with the muddled mint.

  2. 4

    Shake

    Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

Serving

  1. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared margarita glass over fresh ice, if desired. Garnish with a mint sprig or a lime wheel, if desired.
