Lovely Libations: Pink Grapefruit Margarita
Blame it on my mother, but I am a huge fan of margaritas–especially the Barefoot Contessa's recipe for Pink Grapefruit Margaritas from her cookbook, How Easy Is That. Honestly, it's everything you could ever ask for in a good marg: refreshing, not too sweet, and relatively easy to make (and drink).
For those of you who are planning a summer barbeque or simply a night in with friends, this is a must-serve cocktail. But, if alcohol isn't for you, just swap out the liquor for sparkling water or Sprite. It's just as delicious!

A margarita in a mason jar makes a margarita that much better. I'm not a fan of grapefruit or ruby red juice (when I tried it I nearly gagged) but I think this recipe is a great template for any flavor you like.

I tried it and it was gorgeous! I used Sprite instead of alcohol, like you suggested...
I also added in a splash of grenadine to give it an even prettier colour :)
It was my first ever mocktail so I think I did okay! Here's a pic http://www.laurenconrad.com/photo/view/25898/6292/30821/1
