FANTASTIC!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Absolutely wonderful. I didn't find it as sweet as the other reviewers had, in fact I had to add more simple sugar, not much... though. So adjust to taste. I didn't use fresh squeezed juice but a very high quality bottled varity. It was soooo good. We also skipped the salt. Looking foreward to using fresh grapefruits when I make this again! The Absolute also goes great with club soda and a splash of grapefruit juice. Thanks Emeril for turning us onto this one :)Read more

Loved it!!

The Margarita is wonderful with the ruby red grapefruit. The fresh squeezed juice isn't pink so it's not as pretty as the... picture. Thanks for a great recipe.Read more

Tasty, sweet, sour
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Easy to make, good for a couple, more if you like sweet drinks. Not a fan of frozen margaritas, we used regular ice cubes... and then added some crushed ice, which was splendid. Will try again without so much simple syrup. But altogether pretty good.Read more
