Ingredients

• 1 lime halved
• Coarse salt as needed
• 1/2 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice (from about 4 limes)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 cup Grand Marnier
• 1/4 cup Triple Sec
• 1 cup Gold tequila
• Ice as needed

Preparation

Step 1

To salt the margarita glasses, rub the outside rims of 4 big glasses with a cut lime and press them lightly into a plate of kosher salt, to coat.

Combine the lime juice, sugar, Grand Marnier, Triple Sec, tequila, and a big handful of ice in a cocktail shaker (or blender). Shake the margarita really well, for a good 20 seconds, and strain into the salt rimmed glasses filled with ice.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
