This Margarita has a tart yet sweet appeal. With sugar rimmed glasses this cocktail will dress up any event.
Juice of 4 limes (reserve one half of juiced lime peel)
3/4 cup orange juice (without pulp)
1 shot of Grand Marnier
1 1/2 shots of Tequila
1 shot of Raspberry Licquer
1 shot of Rose's Grenadine syrup
Strawberry flavored course sugar
Lime wedges/curls
Sprig of mint
2 Margarita Glasses
Serves 2
Garnish with sugar rimmed glasses. You can purchase strawberry flavored/colored sugar, or tint your own course sugar by shaking 1/2 cup in a titly closed jar with one drop of red food coloring... shake well to produce the color evenly. To rim the glass, pour sugar onto a flat saucer, use one of the limes that was squeezed and moisten the rim well. Turn the glass upside down and gently coat the rim edge in the sugar. Chill for 15 minutes in the freezer.
In a pitcher, juice 4 limes. Add 3/4 cup orange juice, 1 shot of Grand Marnier, 1 1/2 shots of tequila, 1 shot of Raspberry Licquer, and 1 shot of Rose's Grenadine syrup. Stir. Pour into a cocktail shaker that is 1/2 filled with ice. Shake well to chill.
Pour cocktail into chilled Margarita glass. Add garnish of lime twist and mint sprig.
