Grapefruit & Jalapeno Margaritas

I really love a jalapeno margarita, but I probably never would have made one had I not bought way too many grapefruits than I knew what to do with.  I love grapefruit, but really only when combined with other things.  I think I am always looking for them to be as sweet as an orange, and am always disappointed.  But on a rainy saturday, with nothing but time, and just happening to also have jalapenos... this did the trick!
