Pretty close to a classic marg, but a splash of orange juice sets it apart. This recipe goes with a standard salt rim, but a sugar rim is a great alternative for those with a bit of a sweet tooth.

serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 lime wedge, for garnish
Kosher salt
1 cup ice cubes
1 tablespoon Cointreau
2 tablespoons tequila
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier liqueur
1/4 cup old-fashioned lemonade or Margarita mix
1 teaspoon fresh orange juice

directions

Run the lime wedge around the rim of a Margarita glass and then dip the rim into a saucer containing the salt so that the rim of the glass is coated.

Place the ice in a cocktail shaker and add the Cointreau, tequila, Grand Marnier, lemonade and orange juice. Shake for 30 seconds and then strain into the salted Margarita glass (Alternatively, for a Margarita "on the rocks," add ice to the glass and pour in the strained cocktail).
