On the Rocks: Ruby Red Margarita.

Ruby Red Margaritas and the ridiculous amount of vitamin C found in these citrus fruits can help us all stay healthy. So, technically, you need to drink these for your own good.

Ingredients:
– lime wedge
– Coarse salt for coating the rim of the glass
– 1 jigger (1 1/2 ounces) tequila
– 3 tablespoons fresh pink grapefruit juice (preferably ruby red)
– 1 pony (1 ounce) orange-flavored liqueur
– 1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar if desired

Garnish: 1 quarter of a slice of ruby red grapefruit

Rub the rim of a cocktail glass with the lime wedge, dip it in the salt, coating it lightly, and chill the glass.

In a blender, blend tequila, grapefruit juice, liqueur, sugar and 1 cup ice cubes for 30 seconds. Pour the drink into the glass, and garnish it with the grapefruit slice.

Yield: 1 margarita
