1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chipotle powder

MARGARITA:

For the chipotle salt: Mix together the salt and chipotle powder on a plate. For the margarita: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the grapefruit juice, tequila, orange liqueur and chipotle powder. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds.
