Nothing says summer in San Diego like a Margarita. I thought it would be fun to use some of the produce lying around my kitchen, so I got to work ... grapefruit here, limes there ... and to the bar. I must admit this cocktail exceeded my expectations given my seeming haphazardness behind the shaker tonight. What I ended up with was a wonderfully balanced Margarita with subtle overtones of pear topped with a sweet grapefruit meringue.
