Things You’ll Need:

Margarita or Rocks Glass

Ice (Cubes - Not Crushed)

Sea Salt

Your Favorite Tequila

Grand Marnier or Cointreau

Fresh lime juice

Soda water or Seven Up

Lime wedge for garnish

Step 1

Start by rubbing a lime around the rim of the glass and then dipping and running the glass rim in a pile of salt. If you don't like salted glass rims with your margaritas, skip this step and start with step 2. Personally I prefer Sea Salt.

Step 2

Add the Ice to glass approximately 80% full.

Step 3

Measure a shot of tequila in a shot glass or jigger. Pour the shot into the margarita glass. I bought LARGE shot glasses as they seem to work better and add more pizazz to the drink.

Step 4

Measure a shot of Grand Marnier or Cointreau and add it to the margarita glass. I also suggest a LARGE shot glass for this very important step.

Step 5

Fill half of the remaining empty space in the margarita glass with the lime juice. This will be about 1 to 1.5 oz.

Step 6

Fill the remaining empty space in the margarita glass with soda water or lemon-lime soda. Stop pouring when the liquid reaches about 1 to 2 centimeters from the top of the glass. This will be about 1 oz.

Step 7

Add a splash of Grand Marnier or Cointreau to the top of the beverage and garnish with a lime wedge.

Step 8

Put on your favorite tunes on the audio rack and turn the music up. Put your feet up, take a sip of this heavenly concoction and close your eyes to fully take in the moment.

Life is Good - Enjoy!!!

Tips & Warnings

Typical shot glasses measure 1 oz. Yours may vary.

Jiggers measure 1 1/2 oz.

Other citrus flavored sodas will work well in this recipe.

To make a blended margarita, simply add the above ingredients in their appropriate portions in a blender with ice. Mix for about 1 minute, or until the liquid is blended to your preference.

Don't Drink and Drive. If you insist on driving, give me your drink. It would be such a tragedy to waste a perfectly good Cadillac Margarita. I do promise to take good care of it. The things I do for my friends.

Jimmy Buffet playing Margaritaville on your home audio system may lead friends, neighbors, relatives and passer-bys to believe that you are a drinking establishment. You may need to buy more alcohol, chips and salsa. If that's no problem - then get out some more glasses!!!
