Grand Gold Margarita

12 oz Jose Cuervo margarita mix
6 oz Jose Cuervo 1800 tequila
3 oz Grand Marnier orange liqueur
3 oz Cointreau orange liqueur
1 bottle Corona Extra lager
ice cubes

Pour the the margarita mix, tequila, cointreau, grand marnier, and beer into a blender.
For frozen margaritas, fill the blender with ice cubes and blend until the ice is crushed. (For margaritas on the rocks, use less ice and blend until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.) The beer will create a frothy texture for the margarita.
Dip the rim of the margarita glass in lime juice and then salt the rim with margarita salt.

Margarita

Ingredients:

  • 65 ml Tequila
  • 20 ml Cointreau
  • 45 ml Lemon juice
Method:
  1. Moisten the inner and outer edge of a cocktail glass with a slice of lemon and dip in a fine salt.
  2. Shake the ingredients well with ice.
  3. Strain into the glass.

Tip: Always use smaller sized ice cubes when making a cocktail. This creates a smoother taste by allowing a proper mix of water and alcohol, since they melt faster when the alcohol is poured over them.

  • Fine Sea salt
  • 40 ml Tequila
  • 4-5 Ice cubes
  • 3 Lime wedges
  • 25 ml Cointreau
  • 40 ml Lime juice

Method:
  1. Dampen the rim of a chilled cocktail glass with 1 of the lime wedges then dip the rip into a fine sea salt.
  2. Pour the tequila, cointreau and lime juice into a cocktail shaker.
  3. Squeeze the juice from the remaining 2 lime wedges into the shaker, squeeze the wedges to release the oils in the skin then drop the wedges into the shaker.

Tip: Sparkling wines and champagnes should be served thoroughly chilled.
