The next time your feeling healthy and picking up fruit in the store grab an extra orange and grapefruit. When you get home peel the orange and grapefruit so that all the skin is gone and just the meat is showing. With a sharp knife, core the fruit. A fillet knife is best. With the same very sharp knife, slice into the meat at the dividers on either side of the wedges until you have removed all the membrane holding the meat. Wow, naked fruit. Place the fruit wedges in a plastic bag. One bag for the orange and one for the grapefruit and place the bags in the freezer. Then one day when you remember you put them there, you can try this little treat.
Pour one and a half or more ounces of vodka into a drink glass rimmed with margarita salt. Add approximately four or more ounces of grapefruit juice. Do not add ice. Add two or three slices of the frozen grapefruit wedges and sprinkle in a little margarita salt. Man, you talk about good.
Use the same formula with the orange slices. However, substitute the vodka with tequila and the grapefruit juice with orange juice. Then add a teaspoon of grenadine or cheery juice for the best tequila sunrise this side of the border.
