We don't have a grapefruit tree in our yard, but many of our neighbors do. These trees grow huge, and always seem to be loaded with their bounty. Our neighbor brought over a large bag of grapefruit and tangerines, so it looks like it will be "Salty Chihuahua's" for cocktail hour.
My bookkeeping is so bad....I know I found this recipe on a friend's blog, and now I simply can't find it. We had a fair share of Salty Chihuahua's with the neighbors before we left last spring. Just some freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, a jigger of Tequila, perhaps a splash of Triple Sec, salt on the rim of the glass....you get the picture. Come over about 4 p.m.
Sure sounds like something my husband and I would lovel we'll be there.

I've just returned from the grocery store with some Florida red grapefruit in my bag. What a delicious way to try them out.

ReplyDeleteI'm laughing Barbara! Remember, we are so many hours west of you, we have to catch up with France!!!!
ReplyDeleteshoot! we missed 4 o'clock... you must give us more notice. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I miss the fresh grapefruit we would get from my in-laws tree in Jupiter, FL. So sweet and juicy, like no grapefruit I have ever tasted! I wish I had a tree here in my S. Fl yard. I'm just west of Ft. Lauderdale.
ReplyDeleteOh, if only I could have gotten there by 4!! LOL! Sounds like one that Tomatoes on the Vine might have posted.
ReplyDeleteI'm certain your version was delicious!! Hope you enjoyed one for me. blessings ~ tanna
My first house in Florida had a grapefruit tree. Sure wish I had known about this drink then!
ReplyDeleteNow I have to buy them, but I eat half a grapefruit every morning so there's always the makings for this in my fridge.
(Would rather be having one at your house, Susan!)
Fresh citrus from the tree, oh wonderful! I think I would just eat them straight up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a refreshing cocktail! Sounds perfect with fresh citrus~
ReplyDeleteGrapefruit is gorgeous right now. And yes, perfect for cocktail hour.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious with freshly picked grapefruit! I've heard of a Salty Dog but never a Salty Chihuahua - love it :)
ReplyDeleteHow nice to be gifted with such fresh fruit.
ReplyDeleteMmm, sounds so good. My folks had a grapefruit tree in their backyard in SoCal... it was so much fun to go out and pick your breakfast!
