Pro Tip
Use fresh-squeezed grapefruit for the best flavor. The bitterness of the grapefruit plays beautifully against the sweet heat. Pour trick: 1/4 oz = a 1-second squeeze. Count "Swi-cy" as you pour.
Every delicious spicy version needs Margaheata.
Keep the tequila, vodka, or rum you already like; Margaheata brings the sweet heat from hand-selected fresh serranos, habaneros, and jalapeños. You set the heat one 1-second squeeze at a time, and since it's 0% ABV the same bottle works in the cocktail and the mocktail. The only thing it replaces is that sad half-jalapeño in the back of your fridge.
