Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)
Ingredients
1 lime, juiced
½ lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jiggers reposado tequila (such as Jose Cuervo® Gold)
1 cup ice cubes, or as needed
salt as needed
1 teaspoon brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®), or to taste
Directions
Squeeze lime juice and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker; top with sugar. Pour tequila over sugar mixture and add ice. Cover shaker and shake. Allow shaker to rest for 1 to 2 minutes.
Spread salt onto a plate. Rub the lemon around the rim of the margarita glass and dip the rim into the salt to coat. Pour margarita into glass and top with a brandy-based orange liqueur.
Tips
Use two heaping tablespoons white sugar. The most common mistake is people don’t use enough white sugar because they think it’s too much. The drink will be tart.
Don’t worry most of the sugar stays in the shaker. Let the drink rest after shaking. That little bit of water from the ice melting helps with balance.
