Notes

Freshness is paramount for this margarita; always use freshly squeezed grapefruit and lime juices. The tartness of grapefruit can vary, so taste your juice and adjust the agave syrup slightly to achieve a balanced sweet-tart profile. For an enhanced experience, consider moistening the rim of your margarita glasses with a lime wedge and dipping them in coarse salt or a chili-salt blend. To prevent over-dilution, you can stir the mixture with ice in the pitcher until thoroughly chilled, then strain it into glasses over fresh ice, or serve it neat in pre-chilled glasses. A grapefruit twist or wedge can also provide an aromatic garnish alongside the pomegranate seeds.
