• Equal parts tequila, orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier), sweetened lime juice (such as Rose's), and freshly squeezed rio red grapefruit juice
• Garnish: grapefruit slice.

Directions:

Texas is the land of both the margarita and rio red grapefruit, so it makes sense to pair the two together. In an ice-filled shaker, mix tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and rio red grapefruit juice. Shake hard. Pour into a margarita glass rimmed with pink grapefruit sugar (available where cocktail supplies are sold). Garnish with a slice of grapefruit.

• 9 cups chilled rio red grapefruit juice
• 3 cups Champagne

Directions:

For this variation on mimosas, mix chilled rio red grapefruit juice with Champagne.

• 2 oz Punt e Mes
• 2 oz freshly squeezed rio red grapefruit juice
• Ice cubes

Directions:

This elegantly balanced cocktail is a variation on both the Greyhound (vodka and grapefruit juice) and the Salty Dog (gin or vodka and grapefruit juice with a salted rim). It calls for Italy's unique Punt e Mes vermouth, made by Carpano, whose taste falls somewhere between a traditional red vermouth and a bitter.

Rim an old-fashioned glass with kosher salt, then fill with the ice cubes. Add Punt e Mes and freshly squeezed rio red grapefruit juice; stir and serve.
