A GRAND MARGARITA
When it’s hot outside, there’s nothing like a good old frozen margarita to take the temperature down a few notches. Here’s a refreshing take on one that uses Grand Marnier rather than triple sec. I find it gives the drink a touch more elegance. I always drink mine without a salted rim, but feel free to salt yours. You can even do a sugar rim if you want to keep things sweet. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS (serves 1)
2 ounces tequila
1 ounce Grand Marnier, plus drizzle for floater
2 ounces orange juice
juice of one lime
12 ice cubes
lime slice for garnish
PREPARATION
Place all ingredients, except the lime slice, in a blender. Blend until slushy. Pour into a margarita glass. Garnish with lime slice and drizzle more Grand Marnier on top as a floater.
