Recipe: Grapefruit Juice Cocktail

This past weekend I had this amazing drink called a Paloma at our favorite burger joint - fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and Tito's tequila with a dash of agave nectar for added sweetness.  It was absolutely divine and I enjoyed every second of that drink.  Here's the recipe in case you're suffering from a case of the Monday blues.

Ingredients

• 1 ounce gin or 2 oz of silver tequila
• 4 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
• 1 teaspoon agave nectar
• 2 candied grapefruit peels
• grapefruit wedge and sugar for rimming (optional*)

Directions

In a cocktail shaker, add ice, grapefruit juice, agave and gin. Shake several times. Pour over a 4oz glass filled with ice. Garnish with candied grapefruit peels and kick back & enjoy.
