Description
Class up your drink with this Grand Marnier margarita recipe! The flavor is full-bodied with a touch of sophistication.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) best quality tequila reposado
- 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) Cointreau*
- 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) Grand Marnier
- Kosher salt or flaky sea salt, for the rim
- Ice, for serving (try clear ice)
- For the garnish: Lime wedge
Instructions
- Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of flaky sea salt (or for a festive look, use our Margarita Salt).
- Place tequila, Cointreau and lime juice in a mixing glass and fill with ice. Stir until cold.
- Strain the margarita into the glass with the salted rim. Add ice. Then carefully pour the Grand Marnier onto the top of the drink over the back of a spoon (float it!). Serve immediately.
Notes
*If all you have is Grand Marnier, simply substitute Grand Marnier for the Cointreau, and don’t do the final step of floating on top.
