Today is National Margarita Day, which seems like a pretty great way to celebrate a Monday!

Now, a lot of us hear margarita and instantly think of the tequila-heavy, straight-from-the-blender versions that we may have ordered on 2-for-1 day way too many times in our 20s. These days, I tend to gravitate toward a subtler variant that utilizes freshly squeezed juice. Freshly squeezed pink grapefruit, Meyer lemon, or blood orange juice makes for a fabulously fresh cocktail!

• 1 cup fresh Ruby Red grapefruit juice
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/2 cup Cointreau
• 1/2 cup tequila
• 1 tablespoon agave syrup
• 1 cup crushed ice
• Kosher Salt 

Stir together the grapefruit juice, lime juice, Cointreau, tequila, and agave syrup in a pitcher, and mix with ice cubes. Rub the rims of 4 rocks glasses with the edge of the lime, and dip in kosher salt. Strain the cocktail into prepared rocks glasses.
