Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz tequila blanco, silver
  • 1 oz Grand Marnier triple sec, Cointreau
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice
  • .5 oz agave simple syrup
  • salt to rim glass
  • lime and orange wedge garnish

Instructions

  • Pour some salt onto a plate. Be sure your plate is big enough for the rim of your glass.
  • Take a lime or orange wedge and run it over the rim of a margarita glass (or whatever glass you're using).
  • Turn the glass upside down on the salt and wiggle it a little to coat the edge of the glass.
  • Add tequila, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, and agave nectar to a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice, shake back and forth for about 10 seconds.
  • Add plenty of ice cubes to your glass and pour the shaken Texas margaritas over. Garnish with lime wedge and orange slice. Serve immediately.

Notes

Can I make this ahead?
Mix all ingredients together and keep the margarita mixture in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours ahead. Don't add any ice until ready to serve.
Tips
  • ​You can use your favorite tequila or what you have on hand.
  • Mix up a big batch and serve from a large pitcher or glass dispenser.
  • Blend with ice for frozen Margaritas.
