A Fun Night Awaits With These Grapefruit Margaritas

I knew they’d be good.

But I didn’t know they’d be THIS good.

They were originally a demo recipe in my Ninja vs Vitamix video.

Now, they’re an official member of the NOYOKE family.

What makes these grapefruit margaritas so great?

Well, every time we’ve made ’em, we’ve had a fun night. Nights so fun that we forget to take pictures!

(Actually, one picture surfaced from the last frozen marg session)

The only evidence from the night we made grapefruit margs. Lucy looks like she has had a few.

That’s all the proof I have that they’re a huge hit. Alas, I’ll have to use my words to describe their awesomeness.

Update 12/21/17: Here’s a quick little video from one of our last weekends in Chicago.

The Best Margaritas I've Ever Had

Some people like frozen margaritas.

My brother-in-law, James? Absolutely.

My buddy Nate? Any boozy snow cone will do.

Me?

I normally prefer my tequila on the rocks.

But THESE frozen margaritas? These grapefruit frozen margaritas?

Wow!

These babies are:

• Loaded with flavor.
• Loaded with booze.
• And as a bonus, have all sorts of vitamins and nutrients from a whole (peeled, of course) grapefruit.

Premixed margaritas? Feh.

Never again.

And the buzz these babies get you?

Perfection.

Here you go, my friends. Grapefruit Frozen Margaritas.

Enjoy.

Making these margs is really straight forward. You DO NOT need a Vitamix (although they’re way better if you have one).
