The Mariposa Margarita

Butterflies are to caterpillars what tequila is to agave plants: a magical transformation resulting in pure delight! In honor of National Tequila Day on July 24, we're whipping up the Mariposa Margarita. Modified from our friend's at Lily the Wandering Gypsy, the Mariposa Margarita (mariposa means butterfly in Spanish) is equal parts sweet, tart and pure delight. ¡Salud! The Mariposa Margarita 1 part grapefruit juice (fresh squeezed is best) 1 part club soda 1 oz. tequila (we like Hornitos blanco) 1 tsp. organic agave nectar Organic cane sugar for rim To sugar the rim, rub the rim with a slice of grapefruit and dip the glass in a plate of sugar. The sugar complements the tart perfectly. Fill your glass half full with ice. Now order is important: Pour in the grapefruit juice, tequila, agave nectar and top off with club soda. Garnish with a wedge of grapefruit and viva la fiesta!
