Grapefruit Aperol Margaritas
It isn’t quite a Chiefs football Sunday at the Machs without some sort of cocktail in hand, so I am super excited to bring a new MACH-arita to the blog with these grapefruit aperol margaritas. Can you tell I am still craving Italy with the splash of Aperol?! 😂 The freshly squeezed lime and grapefruit juice really make these something special and honestly make me wish spring weather was a little closer. Who else is already over winter? 🙋🏻♀️
I am excited to bring y’all the very first cocktail creation of 2022 with these delicious and fresh margaritas. I hope you enjoy them and if you give them a try, be sure to tag me over on Instagram stories.

What You Will Need
*the recipe below makes two margaritas. If you want to make a pitcher, I recommend multiplying everything by 4 below. Super Bowl party anyone?!*
4 oz silver tequila. We prefer Casamigos!
1 oz aperol
2 oz triple sec
3 oz freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
1 oz simple syrup. Coop creates his own. It is super easy to do!
Salt, sugar and/or fresh fruit (grapefruit or limes) for garnish
Directions
Combine all ingredients into a shaker with ice.
Shake for about 30 seconds and then pour over ice into your desired Margarita glasses. I am linking the ones I got for Christmas in my Reel. Six glasses for $38 from Amazon. They also come in a clear option ($27) if the blue detail isn’t your vibe.
Garnish your rim with either salt or sugar and a little slice of grapefruit. I prefer salt with these and Coop really likes these with sugar, so maybe try them both ways and let me know what you think 😉
Sip, cheers and enjoy! Oh and GO CHIEFS!
With love,
