Tangelo Margarita

It’s probably no surprise to any of you, but when I see a new fruit come in season – or priced low enough that I can’t resist hoarding – the first thing that comes to my mind is: I have tequila at home, right? Because, really now – what fruit doesn’t make a good margarita? [...]

But I wouldn’t know Maybe you passed them over because your grocery store has them surrounded with signs that say they taste like grapefruit.
